Install GDC on Windows

Procedure to install GDC on Windows® using the exe file.

The installation and licensing of Genero products requires you to read and accept the End User License Agreement, which can be found on the Four Js website at http://4js.com/end-user-license-agreements/.

  1. Close all running applications.
  2. Execute the installation program.

    On Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10, administrator privileges are needed to perform the installation. UAC will pop up, you will need to validate it to install GDC.

  3. Press 'Next' to start the installation.
  4. If you accept the agreement, check 'I accept the terms in the License Agreement' and click 'Next' to continue.
  5. Select the folder in which you want to install GDC.
  6. Determine whether to grant read/write/modify permissions on the installation directory to the Users group.
    The option must be selected to allow the GDC auto-updater to work silently. However, granting these permissions may be considered as unsecure. Consult with your Genero application administrator.
  7. Select the StartMenu folder in which GDC shortcuts will be set.
  8. Determine whether to associate .gdc files with the GDC.

    GDC shortcuts can be stored as a .gdc file. By associating this extension with this GDC, you can start GDC by double-clicking a .gdc file in Explorer. You can enable or disable the file associations.

    GDC is now ready to be installed.
  9. Click Install to begin the installation.
    All files are copied.
  10. Click Finish to close the installation wizard.

The GDC is installed. You can now run the GDC.
