VBRUN300.DLL

In order to make the download quicker and less expensive, this version of
Dicestar does not contain the VBRUN300.DLL runtime library. 
Without this file, the Setup program and the Dicestar game cannot be started.
If this file isn't already available on your computer, it is usually found
in the directory Windows\System, you must first load this file and copy it
to your Windows\System directory. You cannot install Dicestar until then.
The file VBRUN300.DLL is available in many Forum Libraries. If you cannot
find this file, please ask the Sysops of this Forum or send us a short
message (100277,3226). 

INSTALLATION:

All files are provided in compressed format and must first be expanded.
This is done by the included Setup.exe program. 
This program accesses files, which could possibly already be used by other
Windows applications. Thus error and information messages could occur
during the installation. Therefore you should exit and restart Windows. Run
the Dicestar installation first, before you start other applications.
 
To install Dicestar run the Setup.exe program
 
For example to install Dicestar, from the Windows Program Manager or File 
Manager, select "Run..." from the "File" menu.
In response to the "Command Line:" prompt, enter the location of the 
Setup.exe programm. For example if "C:\download" holds the dicestar files,
enter the following: 
			C:\download\setup 


If the installation fails, you must install Dicestar manually

- Copy the following files into a directory of your choice:

  applause.wa_, dicestar.ex_, dicestar.hlp_, drum.wa_, fanfare.wa_,
  fximg150.vb_, fxlbl150.vb_, fxshp150.vb_, fxtls150.dl_, readme.txt,
  meepmeep.wa_, swtools.dl_, vbctl3d.vb.

 
- Expand all compressed files with the program Expand.exe. 
  This is supplied with Windows. You will find this in the Windows directory.
  Expand first asks for the name of the file to be expanded and then for the
  the name of the expanded file. Please expand the files as follows:

  File to be expanded                           Expanded file

     applause.wa_				applause.wav
     dicestar.ex_				dicestar.exe
     dicestar.hl_				dicestar.hlp
     drum.wa_					drum.wav
     fanfare.wa_				fanfare.wav
     fximg150.vb_				fximg150.vbx
     fxlbl150.vb_				fxlbl150.vbx
     fxshp150.vb_				fxshp150.vbx
     fxtls150.dl_				fxtls150.dll
     meepmeep.wa_				meepmeep.wav
     swtools.dl_				swtools.dll
     vbctl3d.vb_				vbctl3d.vbx		    
     
 
You can now delete all the compressed files and start the Dicestar program.
