Installation Procedure

The Windows DVD-ROM contains ConQuest 1.14, Mercury 3.0, Mogul 1.4, IsoStar PC Client, PreQuest for Windows, CSD database files and Mogul data files for Windows XP/Vista/7

Note: IsoStar 2.1.3 is a client-server application and only the client software can be installed on your Windows PC. A public IsoStar server is now hosted at CCDC: http://isostar.ccdc.cam.ac.uk. Access to scatterplots from this public server requires a licensed copy of the IsoStar 2.1.3 client package (see Public IsoStar Server). Alternatively, you can use an HTTP server to make the IsoStar data available. The HTTP server can be run on any of the supported IsoStar Linux platforms (see Supported Platforms). Please note that it is currently not possible to run the server on a PC. More information about how to set-up your HTTP server can be found in (see IsoStar 2.1.3 Installation)
