Using Argo to install AbiWord

[dford3772]

Just downloaded a trial version of Argo. Sent the setup file to my desktop for portable AbiWord latest version.
Sent that file to Ceedo Drive L. Opened Argo and entered the Ceedo path where the setup file was and it installed and will open but it does not appear on Ceedo
anywhere that I can find, certainly not on the bar.
What is the point of Argo if programs will not appear?
Help on how to use is rather sparse.

I've just opened a new version of Ceedo and Argo to solve the problem I was having on my licensed version
of Ceedo drive where I cannot install FF 2.0.0.14 or .16.
Ho would I use Argo to try the FF download on this new setup?

If you downloaded the file to your desktop from within the Ceedo environment, then it will have either downloaded to \Ceedo\Common\Desktop or \Ceedo\User\Desktop. Look in these two folders and you should find it.

I'd recommend making a "Downloads" folder in your Ceedo My Documents folder and saving all of your downloaded files to it.

To use Argo to install FF, first download FF's setup file, and then run Argo, browse to FF's setup file, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Keith,
I now have two copies of AbiWord as I installed from the setup I sent to the drive L root and now I have one in the Download folder I created in Documents.

Neither appears on the Ceedo bar and both have to be opened manually. Since this program is not in the
Ceedo programs, does that mean I just have to know it is there and open it manually rather than having an icon for it in the bar?

Donna,

First establish that Abiword is actually installed on your Ceedo drive.

Open My Computer and browse to the Program Files folder on your Ceedo drive. Do not do this from within the Ceedo environment as Ceedo is set up to show shared resources on the host as well as what is installed on the Ceedo drive, so this can make you think that Abiword is installed on the Ceedo drive when it is not.

If Abiword is installed on the Ceedo drive, use Argo to create a shortcut in the Easy-Access menu (EAM), and select the option to place a shortcut on the toolbar during the shortcut creation process.

Delete the Abiword installation file from the root of the drive. You don't need it and it is just taking up space.

Got it at last! The icon is where it needs to be! Thanks!

At the end of my trial period will I enter my Ceedo license number and then be charged for Argo only?
I can have 3 copies of Ceedo w/Argo if I need them?

Donna,

If you have a license for Ceedo, you would import the license. If your drive is a Seagate FreeAgent Go, it should automatically license itself according to the parameters of the drive.

If you have already purchased a license for Argo, you would need to import it as well. No need to wait until the trial period expires. You can do it right away.

If your drive is a Seagate FreeAgent go, the Ceedo license is tied to that drive and that drive alone. OEM drives that come with Ceedo pre-installed - Seagate, Lexar, etc - do not qualify for the three drive rule as far as the licensing policy goes. Your Argo license purchase does (will) qualify, though.
