If you use Windows XP or Windows 2000, login as the administrator, or as a power user. If you login as a regular or limited user, you may not be able to install or use this software.
To begin the installation, simply run the installation file. If you do not have the installation file, please visit our web site to download the latest version:
Note that if you have a previous version of this software already installed on your computer, the installation utility may prompt you to restart the computer, in order to be able to replace the files currently in use by Windows.
The installation program will walk you through the process of setting up HostName Commander. You will be prompted to read and accept the End User License Agreement, and to select the installation options such as the folder where to copy the files.
After you press the Finish button, the installation program will copy the files into the specified folder and configure Windows for using HostName Commander.
IMPORTANT: Make a backup copy of the installation file with the evaluation version of HostName Commander that you have downloaded from our web site, as well as a copy of the message with your license key, on a floppy or other removable disk, because if you ever need to reinstall the software, you will need both, the installation file and your licensing information to install the program in the fully-licensed mode. It's not enough to store the files on your hard disk, because when (not if) it crashes, you will lose the files. (Yes, hard disks do crash, believe us!) We provide for download from our web site the latest versions of the installation files only. When we release an updated version, we remove the older version from the download area, so the installation file with the version that you have purchased may not be available for download in the future. Remember, it's your responsibility to backup your important files! If you do misplace your license key or the installation file that we no longer offer for download, please use this link to order a replacement:
