Uninstalling GenoPro |
The installation of GenoPro is quite easy. If you are reading this page, it is likely you have successfully installed GenoPro.
Q: Do you have a Macintosh or Linux version of GenoPro?
A: No. GenoPro has chosen to improve its current version on the Windows
platform rather than producing multiple versions of GenoPro for multiple
operating systems.
Q: What version of Windows GenoPro runs?
A: GenoPro has been tested on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows
NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Q: What is the minimum hardware to run GenoPro?
A: GenoPro was tested on a 386 with 4 MB of RAM running Windows 95.
Of course this is not the optimal hardware, but you can build your genealogy
tree with such a computer. It is highly recommended to run GenoPro on Windows NT/2000/XP to edit
large genealogy trees.
To run Windows NT 4.0, you need a minimum of a Pentium with 32 MB of RAM.
Pictures best viewed on True Color display, so if you can't have True Color (24 bits) try
to set your display settings to High Color (16 bits).
Q: What are the minimum files required to
run GenoPro?
A: You only need one file: GenoPro.exe (800 KB). For instance, if you want to distribute your genealogy tree on a floppy disk, all you need
to put on the floppy is GenoPro.exe and your genealogy tree.
Q: I want
to make a CD-ROM with my family tree on it, what should I do?
A: Make sure you copy InstallGenoPro.exe
and InstallMfcDLL.exe on the
CD. The file InstallMfcDLL.exe is optional, however may occasionally be required by
InstallGenoPro.exe when installing GenoPro on Windows 95.

Tip: You can generate an HTML
report in the same folder as you copied your genealogy tree (.gno
file). The HTML report gives detailed information about each individual
and family and does not require GenoPro to view and/or print your family data.
Q: Can I put GenoPro
available for download from my web site?
A: Yes. If you are interested having your download area, you are welcome to do so. If you
want, you can copy the HTML pages from GenoPro.com site and customize them or translate them to
your own taste. It is preferable you put a link to http://www.genopro.com/InstallGenoPro.exe
to allow people to always download the latest version of GenoPro. If you make a copy of
InstallGenoPro.exe to your web site, then you have to periodically update the file when a
new version is available
GenoPro has a built-in feature to make it easy to upgrade. Use the "Check for Update" dialog located in the Help menu to determine if there is a newer version available. Simply click on the "Download" button to download the most recent version of GenoPro. If you have GenoPro Gold, the Download button will download GenoPro Gold, otherwise will download the freeware version GenoPro.
The upgrade is a one-click process and 100% safe to keep all your files, including all your .gno files with their pictures.
Q: I have purchased GenoPro Gold and upgraded to a version of GenoPro
with advertising.
A: To upgrade GenoPro Gold, you have to enter your GoldenKey in the About
box before clicking the "Check for Update" button. You only
need to enter your GoldenKey once because GenoPro remembers your GoldenKey on
your hard disk.
Q: I created a large family tree. Is is possible the new version
overwrite it?
A: Never. The Setup program only upgrades GenoPro's files.
Q: Will GenoPro version 2.0 read my family tree created using version
1.x?
A: You bet! The upgrade to version GenoPro 2.0 will be as easy as
any other upgrade of GenoPro.
Q: How do I uninstall GenoPro?
A: You may uninstall GenoPro from the Control Panel (Start
-> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Uninstall
-> GenoPro -> Remove) or by double-clicking on the file Uninstall.exe
located in the folder where you installed GenoPro (typically C:\Program
Files\GenoPro\).
Q: Does uninstalling GenoPro deletes my genealogy files?
A: No. When you install GenoPro, the installer creates a log of all
the files it installed on your machine. When you uninstall GenoPro, the
uninstaller simply opens the log and delete each files installed by GenoPro,
including the shortcuts in the Start menu and Desktop.
Q: I get a message about a missing
MFC42.DLL
A: Your machine is missing a system library. This is a rare case less than 1% of all
machines. Download http://www.genopro.com/InstallMfcDLL.exe
and double-click on it. The program InstallMfcDLL.exe will install mfc42.dll and
msvcrt.dll into the Windows system directory (folder).
Q: I
get a message about missing export in MFC42.DLL (missing MFC42.DLL:6453)
A: Your system has an old version of MFC42.DLL. Download InstallMfcDLL.exe and
double-click on it.
Q: I'm having problems viewing the
online help
A: You must have a Web browser to view the online help. If you don't have one, you can
install Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. GenoPro
recommends Internet Explorer to view genealogy
trees within your browser.
Q: I can't view the
sample .gno files within the online help
A: 1. You must have installed GenoPro on your machine.
2. You must use a web browser capable to host an ActiveX control. So far,
only Microsoft Internet Explorer supports ActiveX controls.
All version 1.x share the same file format, and thus are fully backward and forward compatible with any existing .gno documents. Version 2.00 will contain many new features and will be able to read any genealogy tree you created using GenoPro version 1.x.
