Other Requirements
Internet Explorer 4.0 (or higher) or
Netscape Navigator 4.0 (or higher)
Follow these steps:
1. Click on the download button
to begin the downloading process. You will be asked where you want
the file to be located on your hard disk. Remember to take note of the
location.
The file you are downloading is a compressed
file with the extension ".hqx." Its size is about 3.4MB while the ".bin"
is 2.5MB. Before starting the download process, bookmark this site so you
can come back here once the download is complete.
2. Quit the Browser. Go to the Finder
and decompress the mwplugin.sit.hqx (or mwplugin.sit.bin) file. Usually,
Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer automatically decompress
the file. If you do not have the necessary helper application to decompress
software downloads, get Stuffit Expander from the
StuffIt
Expander page.
3.Run the
installer by double clicking on the installer file. The
WebPlayer will be automatically installed inside Internet Explorer (if
installed on your computer) when the Easy option is activated. For
networking, use the special section of the custom installer to control
which browser the WebPlayer will be installed to. Then by using the Custom
option you can install the WebPlayer inside Netscape if you prefer. You
may also install the WebPlayer in both browsers using the Custom option.
4. Increase the application size
for your Browser by 20 MB. Click on the application icon
of your Browser, and choose Get Info from the File Menu. Increase the number
for Preferred Size by 20000 KB. For example, if the preferred size is 8000,
increase it to 28000.
5. Re-start your Browser and come back to this site. If you are not
sure if the Web Player works, look at a project in our Projects
Library. If you do not see the MicroWorlds project, refer to
the tips in trouble-shooting.
6. Here's how you can view or make
your own projects on the Web.
Once you have downloaded the WebPlayer
file and installed it, you can view the projects in our extensive Project
Library, and even download them to your hard disk to experiment
with them if you have MicroWorlds 2.03 or MicroWorlds Pro for Macintosh.
If you do not own a copy of MicroWorlds, you can download the MicroWorlds
2.03 Demo version before downloading
the project. Use the library to find ideas for your own projects.
The WEBPLAYER is FREE
and can be downloaded from our web site. The installer has the most recent
version but you should visit our web site frequently to see if any newer
versions have been released since, and if so, replace your current version
by the most recent one.
