Installation

1 Quit all other applications and insert the Unreal CD into your
CD-ROM drive.
2 If Windows® 95 is set up to use the CD AutoPlay feature, Unreal
will automatically display its installation screen, shortly after you
insert the CD. If AutoPlay is disabled, you will need to start the
installation manually. To do this, double click on the My Computer
icon, then double click on the CD-ROM icon in the window
that opens. Double click on the Setup.exe file to start the
installation.
3 Go through the installation screens to install Unreal
on your computer. You will be presented with several
installation screens.
4 The first screen welcomes you to Unreal.
5 The next screen is the license agreement. Click yes after
you have read it.
6 The third screen enables you to pick a directory on your hard
drive where Unreal will be installed. You need to have 100
megabytes of space available for a minimum install, and 450
megabytes for full install.
7 The next screen presents you with a list of Unreal
components which may be installed. You may choose
from the following items:
• Unreal World Builder: Optional, for advanced users.
Install this if you want to use the Unreal team’s 3D design
tool to build your own 3D environments.
• Unreal Engine: The Unreal game engine;
installation is required.
• Game Content: Select this component to install all game
content onto your hard drive, which requires 450 megabytes of
free space. Select this for optimal performance. If you
deselect this option, the game content will be loaded from CD
each time you play, degrading performance.
• DirectX: Installs Microsoft’s DirectX drivers for optimal rendering
performance, audio support and joystick support. This
component is optional, but highly recommended if you do
not already have it installed.
8 Kiss your bland reality goodbye.
