Installing and Uninstalling

The installation package will install:

• Musink
• A collection of fonts

If you do not have the Microsoft .NET framework (ver 4.8) installed, the installer may ask you to download it. The .NET Framework is free and normally ships with Windows.

The following instructions are for Windows 7. These general instructions can still be followed in other Windows versions, but you may have a slightly different installation experience.

This topic applies to Musink Pro only. Musink Lite users should use the Musink Lite instructions, below.

To install Musink:

1. Download the installation files from here for free to your desktop

2. Double click the downloaded exe file

1. On your old computer, export all templates that you have created to a USB memory stick or similar. The export function is found in the Template Editor.

2. Add Or Remove Programs from the Control panel, and uninstall in the normal way. This will also remove the fonts that shipped with Musink.

3. If you reinstall Musink, import the templates you exported in the first step

To uninstall Musink, open Add Or Remove Programs from the Control panel, and uninstall in the normal way. This will also remove the fonts that shipped with Musink.

Uninstallation will not remove settings files from your computer, in case you wish to reinstall Musink later. These files take up very little space. If you are uninstalling Musink because of a bug, and wish to reinstall it, you should delete these files. To manually remove these:

1. Uninstall Musink in the normal fashion
2. Press the start button.
3. In Windows XP, press All Programs then Run. In Windows 7 and Later, type Run, then select Run from the list of programs that appear.
4. Run will open. Type %APPDATA% and Press OK
5. A folder will open in a new window.
6. Select a folder called Musink, if one exists, and press delete
7. Musink will now be completely uninstalled.

Uninstallation will also not remove one or two registry keys that hold Musink Pro license information. You should never delete these registry entries, or your licenses may corrupt, and cease to work indefinitely. Do not ever allow any registry clean up program to remove registry entries related to Musink.

If you believe Musink has corrupted, or you cannot access any templates, it is recommended that you perform a Full Uninstall (see above), then reinstall Musink. A full uninstall will ensure that any damaged files are removed from your computer.
