PC Property Manager should introduce no new problems with this file.

On starting PC Property Manager I get a message that the config file cannot set the paths!

You have probably been using PC Property Manager for a while but have recently loaded some new software onto your system and now PC Property Manager cannot start up.

The new software may have needed to change your autoexec.bat file. This very very important file will have an entry in it like:

SET PATH=%PATH%;C:BITWARE

It is likely that a semi-colon is missing (or extra) in the path. You should not try to change this file if you have any doubts about what you are looking at. This is not a PC Property Manager problem and if you are not able to resolve this yourself you should contact your regular PC support service.

Before installing PC Property Manager ensure you are logged into your computer with Administrator or Power User rights.

At least one of the files installed by PC Property Manager must be “registered” with Windows before it can be used. These are common files and may already exist in your system. However, if they need to be added you will need to be logged into your computer with Administrator or Power User rights. If you don’t have the rights the Installation software won’t warn you and PC Property Manager may not work as expected.

Go to where you have downloaded the file and doubleclick on it. It will start the installation process.
