Coral8 Engine

Microsoft Windows

Note for the Microsoft Vista users: Coral8 for Microsoft Vista must be installed and run from an account which has full administrative privileges. Please use default installation folders.

Download either the zip or exe format of the installation files from the Download page. The zip files need to be unzipped after they are downloaded, before they can be run. Run the installation programs, following the installation wizards. Accept all default settings. Once installation is done, you should have an icon on your desktop for each program you installed.

To get started with Coral8, first start the Coral8 Server (double-click on the Coral8 Server desktop icon), then start the Coral8 Studio (double-click on the Coral8 Server desktop icon). The Coral8 Studio will automatically try to connect to the Coral8 Server when Coral8 Studio starts up.
