Installing Gallery Express from CD:

Windows Vista 7/8/10 Installation Instructions:

To Install:

Begin at the Windows Desktop.
Insert the DevWave Gallery Express disk into your CD-ROM.
The DevWave Gallery Express start-up window should appear.
Click the Install button, and follow the onscreen instructions to install the program.

If the DevWave Gallery Express start-up window does not appear automatically onscreen, you can install the program manually.

Click the Start button on the task bar and choose Run.
Type D:\SETUP.exe in the line labeled Open (if your CD-ROM drive uses a letter other than D, substitute for D).
Click the OK button and follow the onscreen instructions to install the DevWave Gallery Express program.

Installing Gallery Express from Internet Download:

Download the file from the server or location, and save onto your harddrive.

After downloading double click the downloaded file and the Installation License screen will appear.
You must agree to the license before you can continue.
Click the OK button and follow the onscreen instructions to install the DevWave Gallery Express program.

Installed Gallery Express Components:

When you first download Gallery Express, or install Gallery Express from a CD-ROM, the following main components will be installed on your system.

Gallery Express program file (GalleryExpress.exe) - installed to the directory you specified during the install wizard (usually c:/Program Files/Gallery Express).
Gallery Express database (ArtData.mdb) - installed to the directory you specified during the install wizard (usually c:/Program Files/Gallery Express).
Gallery Express Screen Saver (GalleryExpress.scr) - installed in your Windows System directory.

When you run Gallery Express for the first time (Program Files > Gallery Express on your start menu), you will be prompted to log on as the Administrator.
The default password shipped with the software is 'express'. For security reasons, it is recommended that you change this password immediately.

To start using the program, it is necessary to ensure that the default settings for your company are set correctly. Read the Setting Defaults - Company Defaults and Validation tables sections of the Gallery Express On-line Help File before you begin.

Gallery Express Network Installation:

If you are installing Gallery Express for use on a network (as limited by your software license agreement), you will want to locate the database on a computer you have designated as your file server. If your first installation of Gallery Express was not on the computer you wish to use as the file server:

Copy the ArtData.mdb file(located in the directory you specified when installing the software) to your file server then run Gallery Express.
Set the data source of the program to the database on your file server (See the Setting the Data Source section of the Gallery Express On-line Help File).
Repeat Step 2 for each workstation where you are installing Gallery Express.

Gallery Express Screen Saver:

Gallery Express comes complete with a screen saver that will display all art inventory that you have entered digital images for. You can configure the screen saver through Settings > Control Panel > Display > Screen Saver on your Start Menu. Select GalleryExpress as your screen saver and apply your changes. If you wish to change the configuration of the screen saver, click 'Settings'.
