Using the CD

CD Content

This is a good time to introduce the Unit II material on the companion CD.

Take a look in the Unit II folder on the CD. It includes source directories for each project discussed in these chapters. Each directory is labeled with the chapter number and project name. So, for example, this chapter's programming projects are 8_Hello and 8_ Hello3D. The Bin directory contains the final executables of each project, the SourceMedia folder has the DirectMusic Producer source files to create the content, and the Media directory contains the final run-time media files for the sample projects.

You can either copy these files by hand or you can run the Setup program, also in the Unit II folder, to automatically install these files on your hard drive. It includes an uninstaller, so you can install, play with the materials, and when done wipe them out to make room for more on your hard drive.
