Installation - Setup version
--------------------------------
Just run Setup package and follow instructions.
You will need administrator privileges to be able to install.

The difference between setup and portable version is that
setup version includes INSTALL.INI file. This file forces Zback 
to use "<user>\documents\Zback" folder to store batch and INI files.
Remove or rename this file to make portable version.


Installation portable version
--------------------------------
-just unzip package to any directory on a fixed or removable drive. 
 (for example "My Documents"\Zbackup or "Desktop"\Zbackup or c:\zbackup,
  but not in "Program files").
-start Zback.exe. To get User Guide help press [F1].
-optionally you may also download Zback Manual from Zback homepage.
-to create desktop shortcut go to Options tab and click on [Icon] button.
-to install upgrade just overwrite all old files with new ones or use
 checkver.exe for automatic upgrade (you should close Zback first). 
-Uninstall is done by deleting Zback directory.

Remarks:
-You may need administrator privileges to write files outside "User" folders.
-If you get blank page using help file, Right-click the ZGUIDE.CHM file, 
 select Properties/ General, then click the [Unblock] and [Apply] button.
-some antivirus programs may block Zback execution (or other portable
 or "unknown" applications). If Zback does not start you may open
 antivirus configuration and unblock Zback execution.


Install portable to Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10 -User Account Control (UAC)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-It is recommended to uzip package to c:\Users\<name>\Documents\Zbackup
 or on a removable drive.
-You need administrator privileges to write files outside "User" folders.
-By default Zback will ask for admin rights at startup. If you do not need
 to write files in Windows system folders or other user's folders you may 
 use Action Menu/Advanced in Zback to  create ZbackA.exe file, a clone of
 Zback that will not ask for admin rights and will run as restricted user.
-If such ZbackA is unable to copy files due to rights restrictions:
  right click on ZbackA.exe and choose: Properties/Compatibility and
  check [x] "Run this program as an administrator" (or use context menu
  to run it and choose "Run as administrator").
