PLEASE READ THIS FIRST !

The following five steps will tell you how to sucessfully install VP and VPM with the VIP.
If you want to have these instructions at hand during installation you can highlight this text with 'CTRL+A', then Copy it with 'CTRL+C', and then Paste it into an empty textfile with 'SHIFT+INS' or via the rightclick context-menu.

1.) Press 'NEXT' and complete the basic install. After that the GUI for the installation of VPM will open. Proceed with step 2.

2.) Click the 'Install' button and press 'O.K.' when prompted. The message "VPM has been successfully installed" will be displayed. Close this Message.

3.) After that click the 'Setup Paths' Button and in the opening window press 'RESET'. All paths should be set to the 'Pinball' folder now. Close this window.

4.) If you like to configure the default behaviour of VPM as well click 'Setup Defaults' and take your picks. Close this window.

5.) Close the VPM installer GUI and the VIP installer.

Done, all thats left to do now is to put Tables and ROMs into the folders and you can start playing. Start Visual Pinball with the shortcut which has been created on your desktop. Load a Table into the editor with 'OPEN' and then press 'PLAY' to start the Table. Add coins with 3, 4, or 5 (not numpad) and press 1 once to start a 1-Player game, twice for a 2-Player game, and so on.
If you like to know more about how to use Tables and ROMs, and where to get them, etc., please refer to the ReadMe which is offered at the end of the installation or visit one of the VP forums to ask your question.

THIS INFO CAN BE RE-READ AT ANY TIME BY OPENING THE FILE "1stReadMe.rtf" IN THE 'HELP DOCUMENTS' FOLDER.
THE 'HELP DOCUMENTS' FOLDER IS LOCATED IN THE MAINFOLDER LABELED 'PINBALL'.
