LTRobot - Download
| Downloading |
The software comes as a self-installing executable file. The file is quite large (about 14 Mbyte).
Download the file to your machine by clicking on the button below. Then "run" the file (this can usually be done by doubling-clicking on the file icon) and follow the Installation Instructions
| Installation Instructions |
Once the program has set itself up, you will be asked some questions about exactly where you want to install the software on your computer.
If you accept all the defaults, you will be able to run the program from within the "Schools Observatory" section of your Start/Programs menu.
| System Requirements |
| Operating system: | Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP |
| Processor: | The program should run on almost any machine capable of running Windows, but it may be slow to start, particularly over a network. |
| Hard disk space: | About 33Mbyte for the installed program and a further 24Mbyte during installation. |
| Memory: | At least 64MByte of RAM is recommended although less may be sufficient. |
| Graphics: | A minimum resolution of 800x600 pixels is recommended displaying at least 256 simultaneous colours. |
| Restrictions: | This is the first full release version of the software and there may be some minor problems. If you have any problems, please let us know. |
| Problems: | 28/3/03: Problem with Pentium 4 machines fixed Earlier versions of LTRobot had some problems with Pentium 4 machines (particularly with Windows XP, ME or 2000) due to a failure in the backwards compatibility of the processor. We have built a new version of LTRobot which bypasses this problem. Please download the latest version. |
| Notes for the system manager |
LTRobot has been carefully designed to make as few modifications to your system as possible. This means that it installs all of the files that it requires within its own directories. This should mean that uninstallation should be smooth, but it does make the software quite large.
| In case of problems |
Any comments and suggestions are very much appreciated and should be sent to Andy Newsam at software@schoolsobservatory.org.uk. The more detail you can provide about your problem the better. In particular details of your system (Which type of Windows? Is it networked? etc) are essential.
