Download Software

The Diamond Draft software comes with a trial database. Only players who's last name begin with A-O are included in the database. After you've downloaded and tried the software you can purchase the full player database.

You have 2 options for downloading the software. Each option has the same result. It all depends on which option you are most comfortable with.

• Option 1 - Preferred option

• After Installing

  
  There may be situations where certain applications will not function correctly unless they are run by a user with a full administrator access token. This can occur with pre-Windows Vista programs that are not designed to operate under the UAC environment. Microsoft has provided a mechanism to ensure that these applications can be enabled so they will always be marked as requiring a full administrator access token.

  
  You will need to right mouse click on the Diamond Draft application and select "Run as administrator"

  

  
  To mark an application to always require a full administrator access token:

  1. Right click the program you would like to modify and select Properties.
  2. In Properties, select the Compatibility tab.
  3. Under Privilege Level, select the Run this program as an administrator check box, and then click Apply or OK.
  4. If this is the first time the application has been marked to run as an administrator, a dialog box will appear.
  5. Click OK to continue.

  Note   If this is the first time that this application was marked, a message will appear indicating that Windows Vista will instruct the application to gather information about which operations the program is performing that requires it to run with a full administrator access token. This information will help Microsoft determine if any steps can be taken to correct the program in the future so that will no longer require a full administrator access token.

• Option 2
  This will download the zip file. You will then need to unzip the file using winzip or some other zip program.
  
  Once you've unzipped the file you will need to install the program.(See picture below) Usually there is a button at the top of the program that says install, you should click this button. If no button exists then you will need to run the setup.exe file. (The file highlighted blue in picture below).

  During installation if you see the following message
  'C:\Program Files\common files\microsoft shared\DAO\DAO350DLL'
  Click the ignore button to continue.
