NOTE: Please read this guide before installing ZLauncher to your handheld.

Important Tips Before The Installation

1. DO NOT remove the system launcher from ROM, or you will DESTROY your handheld! ZLauncher IS an enhancement to the system launcher; it IS NOT a replacement for the system launcher.
2. ZLauncher is NOT compatible with the previous versions of SwitchDash 0.44. When running in HiRes 64K colors mode with a version prior to SwitchDash 0.44, place ZLauncher on the exclusion list.

Installation

1. Download the ZLauncher.zip file to your computer.
2. Unzip the ZLauncher.zip file into a directory of your choice with an unzipping utility.
   * Because Palm Install Tool may not handle long file name properly. If you can not install files onto you handheld, try extracting the files to the root of the HardDisk, such as "c:\" , then install and HotSync again.
3. Use the Palm Install Tool to install the necessary .prc files to your handheld. You must install ZLauncher.prc and at least one theme for proper operation. (See Directory Structure)
   * If you are using ZLauncher v1.10b3 or higher, simply install the new version over your previous version.
   * If you are running ZLauncher 1.10b3 or earlier, uninstall ALL of the application from the handheld before installing this new version.
4. HotSync your handheld to install ZLauncher.
