| 30 | +This release provides two ways to install the HDFView pre-built binary distribution for a platform: |
| 31 | +* Using an application image. This method simply requires running the provided executable to obtain the software. |
| 32 | +* Running an installer. This method runs an installer (eg .exe) that sets up file associations and menu items. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Once you have uncompressed the downloaded pre-built binary file, refer to the provided README file for details. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +See Known Problems if you encounter any issues. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +## Known Problems In This Release |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +* Workaround for issue with launching HDFView: A path issue which causes HDFView to fail to launch can be resolved by using the included batch script in the binary under the app folder. |
| 41 | +* If installing HDFView with the installer method, please be aware that the installer does NOT overwrite "hardcoded" associations. If there is a pre-existing user-defined file association, you must manually associate the extension with the HDFView application. |
