Description
-----------

  MAPILab File Recovery is an effective document recovery tool for Microsoft
  Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project, Publisher,  Visio and many other popular
  document formats.  MAPILab File Recovery  can recover documents which have
  been lost due to computer crashes,  accidental  deletion - even if Recycle
  Bin has been emptied, formatting of a disk drive, and even when a document
  has never  been  saved!  This  program  is easy  to use both for novice or
  skilled users.  MAPILab File Recovery  is not just  an 'undelete' tool, it
  can easily,  quickly and absolutely reliably reconstruct the lost document
  files that undelete programs can never recover.


Installation
------------

Important!  If you've  got MAPILab File Recovery not from our web page, but
from the other  source (magazine CD or some software library), please visit
our home page - you'll probably find the later version; usually, we release
the updates about once a month.

To install MAPILab File Recovery, just run the "setup.exe"  and  follow the
instructions. You'll need to select the target directory and the components
to install.

Notes for Microsoft Windows NT users. If you have installed Windows
Installer version 1.x, the following error message will appear during
installation:

    error 1155: file \\INSTMSIA.EXE not found

To avoid it, you should download and install Windows Installer
version 2.0 or later. It can be downloaded from Microsoft web-site:

   - version for Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000
     http://download.microsoft.com/download/WindowsInstaller/Install/2.0/NT45/EN-US/InstMsiW.exe
