HOW TO OBTAIN AND INSTALL PhreeqcI

Downloading and Installation

Two methods for downloading and installing PhreeqcI are available. The first method downloads a single self-extracting file, which is extracted in a temporary directory on the hard disk, and PhreeqcI is then installed from this temporary directory. The second method downloads three self-extracting files, which are then extracted onto three 1.44MB floppy diskettes, and PhreeqcI is installed from the floppy diskettes.

Directory Installation

1. Create a temporary directory on the hard drive.

2. Download pcix-xx.exe into the temporary directory, where x-xx is the version number. (Note: Be sure to use binary transfer if using FTP.)

3. Extract the installation files into the temporary directory by executing pcix-xx.exe.

4. Run setup.exe.

5. Remove the temporary directory from the hard drive.

Floppy Diskette Installation

1. Create a temporary directory on the hard drive.

2. Download disk1.exe, disk2.exe, and disk3.exe. (Note: Be sure to use binary mode if using FTP.)

3. Create the installation diskettes by extracting the three files onto three blank formatted (1.44MB) floppy diskettes.

For example:

c:\tmp\disk1 a:
c:\tmp\disk2 a:
c:\tmp\disk3 a:

4. Run setup.exe from the first floppy diskette.

5. Remove the temporary directory from the hard drive.
