Database includes Windows applications listed below. Without setting up your computer to use these applications, they will not operate.

Each Windows application requires a registry entry. At this time, these applications work on/use only local data files. More on this later.  

 

Make a unique directory, for example c:\VDAGIS1, that will be used to house the applications and related data.

 

1. County Projections Explorer (CPE)

Expand the CPE file to c:\VDAGIS1

 

2. dBTools

Expand the dBTools file to c:\VDAGIS1.

 

3. ChartGraphics

Expand the ChartGraphics file to c:\VDAGIS1.

 

4. Demographic Economic Data Explorer (DEDE)

Install DEDE on your computer to  c:\VDAGIS1.

 

5. Expand this zip file (registry bats) to c:\VDAGIS1.

 

To launch a Windows .exe file from a web browser, you must register it in the registry of your computer. The above zip contains batch files to automate this process.

addreg.bat

delreg.bat

 

6. From that same folder, run (from command prompt in c:\vdagis1) addreg [application name]

.. for cpe.exe, run addreg cpe

.. for dBTools.exe, run addreg dBTools

.. for Chartgraphics.exe, run addreg ChartGraphics

.. for DEDE, run DEDE

 

Click OK or YES to the message dialog.

 

If you want to remove the registry entry created, run the following command from an elevated (Administrator) Command Prompt:<br>

delreg [application name]

Example: delreg cpe

 

You should now be able to see/use the Windows applications from iVDA. Remember that the files used are local to your computer.
