3rd
Party Software Installation Guide
This guide will demonstrate how to install a piece of 3rd party
Microsoft Windows® software inside the Kiddix Platform.
3rd party
software is not supported, but you are welcome to install other
applications.
In our tests about 65% of the tested children's software and
educational packages installed and worked well on the Kiddix Platform.
- Update Kiddix to the latest version. This will ensure you have everything needed to use 3rd party software
- Insert the CD-ROM for the
application you wish to install
-
- We don't allow software to
automatically run the autoload file
contained on most CD-ROM's.
- To continue either double
click on
the Autoload.exe file stored on the CD-ROM.
- If the Autoload.exe
doesn't exist often there is a file named Setup.exe or Install.exe that
can be run instead.
-
- At this point if all is
working well the application installer should appear inside a
window. You can now install/run the application as normal.
- Please be aware that
sometimes applications will have minor graphical glitches. These
can be ignored.
- If all went well the application
should have finished installing and can be run by either:
- Clicking on the icon it places
inside the Desktop folder in the kid account home directory
- Inserting the CD-ROM for the
application and again clicking on the Autoload.exe or other suitable
*.exe file on the CD-ROM
Applications
installed in this manner are installed on an emulated C:\ drive which
can be located in the kid account filemanager under this location
/home/kiduser/.wine/drive_c .
(Replace
'kiduser' with the actual username of the child's account.)
