How to Install 11Plus Bonus CD ?

Post by DenZak »

I purchased VS11+ which included the Bounus Content CD.

While I am new to VS11+, generally installing CDs is not a problem.

Unfortunately, with the VS 11+ Bonus CD that is not the case. I have not been able to install the Bonus CD contents, except WinDVD.

One of the primary reasons for upgrading from VD10+ to 11+ was the expectation of receiving more templates, backgrounds, images, etc. So far, this aspect has been QUITE disappointing -- I believe because of the Bonus CD hiccup.

Does anyone know what subdirectories the contents of the Bonus CD should be copied into?

Thank you.

As far as I was aware, the Bonus bundle contains no extra templates etc. Those are contained in the second (Extra Content) file...

The Bonus CD contains the following subdirectories:
Audio
Image
Setup
Video

I would like to add these to the VS11+ program. They do not install like the VS Install disk.

Does anyone know where these files should be copied to?

The ULead Support don't seem to answers e-mails so I thought I would give the Forum a try.

Also, neither of the CDs have a label reflecting "Extra Content."

Thanks for your time.....

Sorry -- I was thinking of the downloaded file version of VS, not the full boxed CD version.

Unfortunately, I don't have VS on this computer I am using and I am away from home. However, I seem to recall that the VS11 sub-folder labelled 'Samples' contains further similarly named sub-folders where you can simply copy some or all of the various video, image and audio etc files on the bonus disc.

However, in reality, it does not matter where you store them on your hard disk. Some people store them on separate directories in My Documents or elsewhere so that they can be accessed easily by other programs that can use those particular formats. As you will see, even if you install them in the VS11 Samples directory, they do not automatically appear in the Library pane when you next open VS. You still have to use 'Insert Image/Audio' etc and point to where you have transferred them in order to get thumbnails appearing in the Library.
