Please read the whole of these instructions before trying to install ElsaWin

If each exe file is not ran as an administrator your installation will fail.

If you have a problem at one stage, stop and sort that stage out before continuing. If one stage fails the following stages are more likely to failIf you have any problems please let me know.

Create a folder called ElsaWin on a hard drive which has 75gb of free space. Place DVD 1 into your DVD drive. Copy and paste all the files from Dvd 1 into the ElsaWin folder.

Then place DVD 2 into your DVD drive.

Copy and paste all the files from Dvd 2 into the ElsaWin folder. Click yes to merge the 2 folders

Then place DVD 3 into your DVD drive. Some virus scanners will detect ELSA_Keygen.exe from the Keygen and serial number folder as a problem. If you need advice on how to get this exe copied let me know. One way would be to disconnect the computer from the internet and turn off your virus scanner until Elsawin is registered. This is done at the end of 4.00 installation. After you have used the Keygen to register Elsawin delete the Keygen and serial number folder, turn your virus scanner back on and run a quick scanner of the computer.

Copy and paste all the files from Dvd 3 into the ElsaWin folder. Click yes to merge the 2 folders

Then place DVD 4 into your DVD drive.

Copy and paste all the files from Dvd 4 into the ElsaWin folder. Click yes to merge the 2 folders

Repeat the copy and paste operation for the remaining 5 DVDS. After all 9 dvds are in the ElsaWin folder this is how the ElsaWin folder will look

Now you can delete from the ElsaWin folder which brands databases you do not want e.g. if you don’t want Seat delete that folder

You are now ready to start installing ElsaWin

Open the “Setup files ELSAWIN” folder and then the “1.Setup_CD_4.00” folder. Next run Elsa_40_Voll_Setup.exe as an administrator. Do not change any default settings bbgate, apos and apospro

Next, you will be prompted to activate the program.

Open the Keygen and serial number folder and prestart key generator ELSA_keygen.exe

Copy the 8-digit Provisional code from Elsawin into the key generator

Click “Get Code” will generate 8-digit a Final Code that must be entered in the field “The final code" in Elsawin and then click" OK ". This will register Elsawin

This is the only time in the installation that Elsawin will have to be registered

If you have turned your virus scanner off, now turn it back on

If each exe file is not ran as an administrator your installation will fail.

Open the “Setup files ELSAWIN” folder and then the “1.Setup_CD_4.10” folder. Next run Elsa_40_Voll_Setup.exe as an administrator. Do not change any default settings bbgate, apos and apospro
