Installation Notes
Application Won't Start
Typically you'll start FRSCountdown via the Start menu or by double-clicking on the Desktop icon. If nothing happens, do one of the following:
For Windows Vista and Windows 7
Right-click on the Start menu command, or right-click on the Desktop icon and select the "Troubleshoot compatibility" menu command (see screen capture on the right). Follow the instructions and allow Windows to adjust the compatibility mode of the application. This should only need to be done once.
For Windows 8, 8.1, and 10
You will need to use the Windows file manager and find the FRSCountdown.exe executable file. When found, right-click on it, and select the "Troubleshoot compatibility" menu command. Follow the instructions and allow Windows to adjust the compatibility mode of the application. You may need to select "this program worked in a previous version of Windows", and select "Windows 7". This should only need to be done once. This web site shows how to do this for Windows 8. This web site shows how to do this for Windows 10.
Error Message Shows When Starting
If, when you try to run the application, you encounter an error message stating that "msvcr100.dll" is not found, please download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Re-distributable Package. We have decided not to include those files in our installation program, so that it is significantly smaller, and because most people will already have those files installed on their computer.
