Installation & Uninstallation top

Installing the programs
Just run the setup file that you downloaded, and follow the prompts, or if you downloaded the zipped version, then unzip into any folder (with the folders option on), and that’s it :).

If the windows registry is deleted or damaged (which often requires a reinstallation of windows), then JJV, and JMP will recreate the files and registry keys that it requires to run next time it starts up, which means you don't have to manually reinstall the application (like many others). If you wish to move JJV its a matter of just moving all of the files, but I do not highly recommend this. If you changed the skins, and they were in a subdirectory then you may have to reconfigure JJV to recognise those skins, otherwise if they were in another directory (like the windows directory) then it should still be fine ;).

Installing the plugins (if downloaded separately)
Simply extract the files into the directory that Jony's JPEG Viewer or Jony's Media Player are installed. The programs will recognise the plugins on startup.

Uninstalling
If you downloaded the full version with install(JJV, JMP plus all plugins), then its simply a matter of running the uninstall file in the installation directory (where all the files are). There may be a need of deleting the directories afterwards. If you downloaded the minimum install version or the zipped file (JJV only), and additional plugins, then its a matter of uninstalling the program (not with the zipped version), and deleting the program files that are left over.

How to use top
