  • After the setup program prompts for the directory to install Ortep-3 into, then installs the files; it will then present you with the Environment variable information that is required to be set.

  • Go into the Control Panel, System and set the following environment variables.
    set ORTEP3DIR=c:\ortep3\
    

  • Now copy over the licence file you have received via E-mail to the ORTEP3 directory as: Ortep3-license (normally into the c:\ortep3\ directory).

  • Then run WinGX and link in Ortep-3 so it can be called by WinGX using the Files, SYSTEM, Setup, Applications-1 option.
