This version installs to Program Files\Lottery Companion
This version installs to My Documents\Lottery Companion to get around the problems copying registration files to the installation directory due to the new Vista / Windows 7 security.
If you have a working copy of Lottery Companion then copy the two files below.
Lottery Companion.exe will replace your existing file, and LCPC.chm is the new HTML help file that it uses.
Brief notes follow on how to Install the application.
To Register or Re-register Lottery Companion Please use this Link.
Installation
Select the file using the link above and then either [Run] it directly or [Save] and run it later.
Setup.exe will then start and you will be shown a series of dialogues - please ignore any warnings about the publisher being unknown!
It's recommended that you keep to the default options. So keep selecting the [Next] button until the [Install] button appears and then select that one instead.
The final dialogue lets you read the release notes and run the program straight away.
Afterwards you will find it in your Program menu in 'Lottery Companion' and as an Icon on your desktop.
Compatibility
If you have problems viewing the forms in the program then it could be due to advanced display options that were introduced in Windows XP, Vista and 7.
Right-Click on the Lottery Companion Shortcut on your Desktop and Select Properties.
Then select the Compatibility Tab.
In the 'Compatibility Mode' section select an older operating system. Keep trying until you find one that works.
In Display Settings you can also select '[v] Display Visual Themes'.
Program Removal
To remove the program select your Start Button, Then Settings, Then Control Panel and finally the Add / Remove programs Applet.
Find Lottery Companion and remove it

Draw Data Updates
If you have a Registered and full version of Lottery Companion then you can use the Download option to keep your draw data files fully up to date.
Otherwise you can download the Draw Data files from here as a zip file. Use an extractor such as Winzip and place the files in the same directory as Lottery Companion. This is usually C:\Program Files\Lottery Companion - Note that this file also contains the latest draw machine information, so if a new machine has been added and you can't 'Download' then be sure to grab this file.
Problems.
If you have difficulties downloading or installing the program then please send me an email and I'll be happy to help.
