Downloading Duper
To install Duper, follow these 4 steps:
- Choose the appropriate version (see below) of the setup
file.
Save that file (setup.exe) to a place where you will be able to find it once
it's downloaded -- the Desktop is fine (you'll be deleting it soon anyway).
There are two versions of the setup file:
- If you have Windows XP (or later), or if you have an earlier version of Windows that
contains the
MSI engine, download this version of the setup
program. This version is 1.47MB.
- If you a version of Windows that does not have the MSI engine (XP and
later editions
will always have the engine), download this
version of the setup
program. It's a hefty 4.84MB.
- If you have no idea whether your version of Windows has the MSI engine --
or if you don't even know what the heck an MSI engine is -- never fear! You can
either download the hefty version, which will install itself on any Windows
system, or (and this is what I would do) you can download the smaller 1.47MB
version and try to run it. If the smaller version stops in its tracks and
reports
a missing MSI file, you'll
know you need the hefty version. Just download that one now and run it, and
everything will be
copacetic.
- Run the setup program by
double-clicking on it. You may get a warning that the file does not have a
valid digital signature that verifies its publisher. Don't worry about that.
Just run the setup program anyway.
- After Duper is installed, you can delete setup.exe --
there is no reason to save it.
- Run Duper from the Start Menu or by double-clicking the Duper icon
on your desktop.
