Instructions for Installing Older Bible Navigator® CDs
under Microsoft’s Vista® Operating System
Introduction
Many packaged products that use Bible Navigator® software were manufactured before Microsoft released their Vista® operating system as a successor to Microsoft Windows XP. These pre-Vista CDs can be used to install Bible Navigator on your Vista computer by following these instructions.
Step-by-Step Instructions
A. Install Bible Navigator BUT do NOT start the program after installation. (Note: If you had previously completed the installation of Bible Navigator on your Vista computer, you may skip to section B.)
- Insert your Bible Navigator CD in your Vista computer.
- If prompted, select the option to “Install or run the autoplay.exe” program.
- When prompted that “An unidentified program wants access to your computer”, click on the “Allow, I trust this program” option.
- Follow the Bible Navigator installation instructions on the screen by clicking “Next” at each prompt. Do NOT change any of the defaults offered by the installation screens. If you receive any error messages, select the IGNORE option.
- Click the “Finish” button to complete the installation.
- Remove the CD from the computer.
- Do NOT start the newly installed Bible Navigator program.
- If you have additional Bible Navigator product CDs, repeat these instructions for each product CD.
B. Download and install the free Vista upgrade.
- Click here to download the free Vista upgrade. The size of this download is 6 MB. This may require time ranging from more than 20 minutes using a 56Kb phone connection to less than a minute using a broadband connection. (If you do not have Internet access on your computer, arrange to download this file elsewhere and copy it to your computer for use in step 3.)
- When your browser prompts to Run, Save, or Cancel, click the SAVE button and note to which location you are saving the file.
- After the download completes, your browser may offer you some options. If it offers a RUN option, click RUN to begin the installation. If instead your browser offers an OPEN option, click OPEN to begin the installation. Otherwise, find the saved file (named BNVistaUpgrade) and double-click it to begin the upgrade installation.
- When prompted that “An unidentified program wants access to your computer”, click on the “Allow, I trust this program” option
- Follow the Bible Navigator installations instructions on the screen by clicking “Next” at each prompt. (Read and accept the license terms by clicking the “I accept…” box.)

C. Start Bible Navigator.
- If your desktop shows the BNVistaUpgrade program, delete it. It will not be needed again.
- Start your Bible Navigator edition using the shortcut icon placed on your computer desktop in step A.5. Or start it by selecting it from your All Programs list.
- When prompted, specify the type of Internet connection that you have and click OK.
- The Vista edition of Bible Navigator will find the books that were installed in steps A.1 through A.8 above. When this finishes, the Vista upgrade is complete and your Bible Navigator start screen will be displayed.
- Follow the instructions on the Bible Navigator start screen for the product that you installed.
D. (OPTIONAL) If the edition you purchased contains books that are updated annually, such as a prayer calendar and/or a daily bible reading plan, follow these steps:
- To get the latest version of a book in your library, right-click on the book title in the library pane and select the “Update book…” option.
- Click the “Update from Internet” option.
- Click the “Start Downloading” option. (Or click the Close option if you want to select other books for updating before starting the download.)
- After the download is complete, click “Yes” to install the book(s).
- After the installation, the library pane will collapse to the highest level folders. To expand a folder, click the folder name or the “+” (plus) sign in front of the folder. Alternatively, click the “Expand All” icon in the toolbar immediately under the Library tab.
- Repeat these steps to update additional books.
