Instructions for Installing DNR Well Forms Program

Each program file is available in 2 version types, the EXE and ZIP extension. The EXE version is a self extracting executable compressed file and the ZIP version is a zip compressed file. The zip format will require an external program such as Pkzip or WinZip to uncompress the file. Because some internet firewalls and email systems may restrict the download of executable (.exe) extension files, the zip format is now being made available.

Always install this software as the System Administrator or under an Administrative account.

1. Download the Executable Version or the Zip Compressed File.
2. Using Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer), double click on the "GW-Forms.Exe" or "GW-Forms.Zip" file icon.
3. In the "Unzip to folder:" window, a default temporary directory name (C:\DNR-TEMP) is displayed to expand the compressed installation program files. You can change the default name, but you should create a temporary directory for this step. This directory should be deleted after the Well Forms Program has been installed successfully.
4. Click the [Unzip] button
5. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the directory where you extracted the program files under step three and double click on the Setup.Exe file icon. You may need to refresh the display by pressing the [F5] function key before you can see the new temporary directory.
6. Follow the installation program instructions.
7. When the install program has finished, you should have a menu choice under your "Programs" choice menu under the "Start" button menu, titled "Wisconsin DNR Well Forms."
8. You may want to delete the original downloaded file to recover the disk space. The file no longer needed unless you want to install this program on another PC. You should delete the temporary installation directory (C:\DNR-TEMP) to recover this disk space.
