To install BibleWorks 10 from media (USB drive) under
Windows, please follow these steps:
If you have any earlier version of BibleWorks, please
uninstall it before installing BibleWorks. You can uninstall BibleWorks in the
Windows Control Panel. Restart the computer when the uninstall is complete.
When you uninstall an earlier version of BibleWorks, the original BibleWorks
folder will remain. Any note files, user-created databases or other
user-created files will remain in this folder so you can later transfer them to
BibleWorks.
Verify that you have Administrative rights on your machine. You may need to contact your System Administrator if you are unsure about this.
To start installation of BibleWorks, please browse to the installation folder that was downloaded, it will be named, “BibleWorks 10 installation files”.
(if you downloaded the one .iso file, double-click it to mount it in Windows 8, 8.1 or 10 so that it shows as BW10DVD1 in File Explorer).
Find and double-click the Setup
(or setup.exe) application:
A User Account
Control dialog box may open requesting permission to continue. Click Continue
to begin the installation.
Once the installation has begun, follow the
instructions in each of the BibleWorks – InstallShield windows that
appear.
During the installation, you will be asked to enter the
BibleWorks Activation Code appearing on the cover of this guide (or sent to you
via email) and the Activation Codes for any additional modules that you have
purchased. Module Activation Codes are entered after you first enter the
BibleWorks Activation Code and then click the Copy to List button for
each code. Please note that entering the Activation Codes in this step does not
activate BibleWorks or its modules. Activation is accomplished in step 3 below.
Optional add-on modules can be installed either now
with the main program, or later (by re-running this step). These add-on modules
require activation codes which must be purchased separately.

to restart the computer.
