Download - Floppy Disk Setup

This download will create a set of floppy disks so that Beam 2D can be installed on computer systems without access to Internet. The created floppy disks may also be used to install Beam 2D on this computer; however, there is a faster procedure to do that. The downloaded setup files named Diskn.exe (where n=1,2,3,4) are compressed self-extracting files. When executed, these files will automatically decompress and produce ready-to-install files that will fit onto four floppy disks.

Download and installation procedure (you may want to print this page for reference): 

• Download Diskn.exe (where n=1,2,3,4) files to a folder on your hard drive.
• Have four blank, freshly formatted floppy disks ready and labeled 'Beam 2D Stress Analysis Disk n' (where n=1,2,3,4). Note: These must be high density disks with the minimum capacity of 1.44 MB each (the standard high density 3.5" floppy disks are O.K. Make sure that there are no bad sectors on the disks so that full capacity of each disk is available.)
• Using Windows Explorer select the previously chosen folder and run Disk1.exe following instructions on the screen.
  Note: A file is run (executed) by double-clicking it in the Windows Explorer window. If your Windows Explorer is configured to hide registered extensions then Disk1.exe may appear as Disk1 with no extension.
• Repeat the above step with Disk2.exe, Disk3.exe and Disk4.exe.
• To install Beam 2D in Windows, execute Setup.exe located on 'Beam 2D Disk 1'.
• After Beam 2D floppy disks are created you may delete Diskn.exe files from the hard drive. 

If you have an anti-virus program running in the background, make sure to turn it OFF during program setup and when you execute Beam 2D for the first time. You can switch the anti-virus program back ON and leave it ON afterwards.

Note for users of Windows 95/98/NT.
