Installing Sound Forge

The install utility, setup.exe, located on the Sound Forge CD-ROM, creates the necessary folders and copies

all files required to operate Sound Forge.

Note:

Sound Forge requires Microsoft

DirectX 8.0 or later and Internet Explorer 4.0

or later. The setup program alerts you if either

is not detected on your system and prompts

their installation from the Sound Forge

CD-ROM.

Place the Sound Forge CD-ROM in your system’s CD-ROM drive. AutoPlay launches the Setup menu.

Note:

If AutoPlay is not turned on, click the

Start button and choose Run. Type

“D:\setup.exe”, where D is the drive letter of

your CD-ROM drive.

Click Install, and follow the instructions in the dialogs to complete the installation.
