No a Full Installer (yet)
Initially, only the upgrade installer will be
available. The full installer will be made available a few weeks later.
Prerequisite: .Net

Upgrade Installation
When you don't have the full installer, i.e. you have the upgrade
installer, you must have a running version of the prior version
installed, namely PD Pro 4.1 (not 4.0). If you already have 4.0, get
the free 4.1
updater from the patches page
and install 4.1 on top of 4.0, before applying the 5.0 upgrade.
If you purchased the upgrade from an earluier version, such as upgrade
from v3 to v5, or sidegrade from v2 or others to v5, you will receive
the necessary files to upgrade to 4.1, so that you can then apply the
upgrade to v5.
Installing on 64-bit OS
(Vista, Windows 7,...)
PD Pro 5 is a 32-bit (x86) application. You can run it just fine under
64-bit Windows, but it is recommended, for clean organization's sake,
that you install it in the folder that is designated for such
applications:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Project Dogwaffle Professional
Of course, you can install it in a totally different place of your own
choosing if you
prefer.
Default Extraction folder
There are two phases to the installtion: first, extracting the many
files from the installer into a temporary location. Then running the
actual installer that is amongst those extracted files, and designating
the final destination for the files.
The initial extraction (phase 1) creates a PD Pro Installation folder
that is by default placed on your desktop, so you shouldn't have
problems with UAC conflicts or difficulties finding the folder if
there's any issues during phase 2.
Problems during extraction
phase?
If the extraction fails, perhaps there is a bad extractor on your
system. For example, in one case we have seen it fail because of a
hacked copy of WinRAR. We recommend that you don't use modified
versions of extraction tools, or at least temporarily disable them for
successful installation of PD Pro 5. Please bear in mind that all too
often, if you use pirated software, you may have gotten also some
modifications with it that bring spyware, trojans and other malicious
features. Always scan your downloads for malware, even our downloads.
It's nice to know that you trust us, but still, make it a habit. And
don't blindly trust your security software to catch all there is.
Education first, honesty next, disaster avoided.

Note that you do not need
any special decompression tools for WIndows to extract and install PD
Pro. Windows has all you need (assuming of course you have a legitimate
license of Windows ;-)
