ClipGuru™ may be installed as an executable ClipGuru.exe file which requires no install procedure and makes no system modifications, or from an installation which creates a folder for you. Simply download and either place ClipGuru.exe in a folder where you will use the program, or download and run the "Setup_ClipGuru" program.

Download either the Setup program which you should "Run" to install ClipGuru into a default folder or any folder you select and also permit for a start-up group, startup method, and desktop icon.
This version update includes a change to accomodate User Access Control for users of Windows Vista. Vista places data files in different locations than previous versions of Windows. If you have run previous versions of ClipGuru under Vista, your files may have been placed in a 'virtualstore' location (a kind of Vista sandbox). This version attempts to locate those files and move them to a more 'normal' location, compatable with Vista conventions, and future versions of ClipGuru.
If you receive a message that the virtual files were not found, and ClipGuru opens with an 'empty' data repository (when you should have stored clips in the repository), download the previous version of ClipGuru and run it instead. PLEASE let us know of your experience so we can attempt to handle all cases. This new version does handle every condition we could create in our test labs, but there may be a condition we haven't encountered.
Upgrading to a new version
If you have previously installed ClipGuru™ from the automated Setup Program and wish to upgrade to a more recent version you need only download the clipguru.exe and replace the existing clipguru.exe with the new version. ClipGuru will need to be shut down in order to replace the ClipGuru.exe file.
Quick reference
When the program is started it will place a small ClipGuru icon in the Windows tray at the far right of your Windows Status bar, normally located at the bottom of your screen. You control the program by clicking on the icon in the tray. Hitting the "Close" or "X" in the window will remove the ClipGuru main window but leave the program running and the tray icon present. If you wish to exit the program entirely you must specifically do so using the "File" menu at the top of the ClipGuru main window or by right-clicking the tray icon and selecting 'Exit ClipGuru' from the right-click menu.
