## Important changes in this release

If you have used an earlier version of BandAid, please review this section for operational changes. If you are new to BandAid, you can skip this section.

### Income and expenses tracking

The finance section has been greatly expanded. If you have tracked income payment for gigs in earlier versions, these are automatically converted when you import your old records. For each act which has payments logged, an income category named 'Gig payment' is created and the amounts are copied. Admission charges were moved to the main info screen, since they do not really present an income or expense.

## Installing BandAid

BandAid consists of a number of files that are distributed as a single compressed archive. If you have received an 'unpacked' copy (consisting of single files), it is recommended that you download a fresh copy, because your copy is probably incomplete or has been tampered with. BandAid does not run on a locked volume, such as a CD ROM. You must copy it to your hard disk or some other writable volume.

### Macintosh

1. Unstuff the archive. A folder called 'BandAid (version#)' is created on your hard disk. After you have expanded the file and verified operation, you can delete the compressed file to reclaim hard disk space.
2. Drag the folder to the preferred location on your hard disk. Important: Please make sure that all files remain inside the BandAid folder. Do not move or remove them independently and do not change any file names, otherwise fatal errors will occur.
3. Open the folder and double click the BandAid application icon (in the standalone application version) or BandAid.fp5 (in the FM datafiles version). Your copy is verified and initialized. Installation is now complete. If any errors are returned during this procedure, your copy is probably damaged. Please make sure you have followed these instructions and try again. If you still have problems, contact technical support.

### Windows

1. Doubleclick the download archive and follow the on-screen instructions to install BandAid. When installation is complete, you can delete the compressed file to reclaim hard disk space.
2. If you accepted all defaults during installation, BandAid is available from the Windown 'Start' menu, along with an internet shortcut to the rootsolutions website and an 'Uninstall' program, if you wish to delete BandAid. In addition, a desktop shortcut and/or Quick launch icon may be created.
3. Start the BandAid application. Your copy is verified and initialized. Installation is now complete. If any errors are returned during this procedure, your copy is probably damaged. Please make sure you have followed these instructions and try again. If you still have problems, contact technical support.
