Install Instructions

If SuperSpice does not intially run but gves an error message 
you will need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x64) vcredist_x64.exe

This file is installed in the main install folder in e.g. the C:\Program Files\AnaSoft\SuperSpice\ 

Double click on the file  to install. This only needs to be done once. Further updates of SuperSpice
will not require this file to be reinstalled.

Turn Off UAC (user account control) , Run SuperSpice as Administrater, Set User write permissions on c:\ProgramData and/or C:\Users\AnaSoft\

Windows 8 and 10 M.S have yet again changed what can access what. File permissons on the "ProgramData" folder must be set so that the 
program and user is allowed to write to that directory. Symtoms of write issues is the inablity to save any of the example schematics. 
To do this, right click on the c:\ProgramData folder and select "Properties" and then select the "Security" Tab. Change permissions 
with the "Edit" button. Select "Users" and set the check boxes to allow full write access.

It may also be necessary to turn off UAC (user Account Control) and run as Administrator. This is strongly recommended in order to ensure all files are saved in the location 
that they were actually saved to. This is a deliberate bug in Windows, under the disguise of user protection. File get written to a "VirtualStore" location.
It is also recommended that the "hide extensions for known file types" be disabled. Again, a deliberate effort by Microsoft to confuse the user.
