A. Download
WinVNKey
How to
download?
WinVNKey is free. The official
versions are contained in: http://winvnkey.sf.net
. On this page, click "Download" will open a page containing the
official versions of WinVNKey. There are six different packages:
- 3 packages support Hán / Nôm (with Han / Nom) in format: EXE,
ZIP,
7Z
.
- 3 packages do not support Hán / Nôm (without Han / Nom) in format: EXE,
ZIP,
7Z
.
(or you can downoad directly from
one of the above hyperlink)
If you do not type the Han / Nom, then you can reduce the download time by
selecting the package without Hán / Nôm (without Han/Nom).
You
just download one package only. Normally you just download the package with
the tail ending in .EXE as it
supports automatic installation. However, the automatic installation may
fail on some XP or Vista. In that case,
you must download the package ending in zip or 7z. Package ending in 7z is
in a compressed format like zip, but in smallest size.
When
deciding which package to download, right-click it in that package, then
select the menu "Save Link As ...", will display a box "Save
As". In this box, we select the folder that we want WinVNKey is
stored, then click the “Save” button, then WinVNKey will be download to the
selected folder.
Where it can
be stored?
It can be
stored in: computers, USB.
1) In computer: Download
WinVNKey.EXE then WinVNKey automatically installed on your machine.
However, if you can not install any reason, then we should download
WinVNKey.ZIP package so. Zip format is a compressed format. If using
Windows XP, we can extract by right click on the zip file and then select
"Extract."
2) In USB: Download, extract
(unzip) or install on USB. Both are ok. Then, when running, click on the
file “winvnkey.exe” then runs . All files are in the WinVNKey folder
installed. Just bring USB to any computer that runs Windows (of course must
be Windows 2000, NT, XP).
