GST Power Launch 2 Tutorial

GST Power Launch 2 for Microsoft PowerPoint Tutorial

We have taken all the good points from the GST Power Launch and built a wizard based tool that is very easy to use. All you need to know is how to create a PowerPoint presentation. The GST Power Launch 2 has a wizard that asks you questions step-by-step and puts everything together for you to make your presentation run on a CD.

Here is how to register Power Launch 2

To register Power Launch 2, first purchase it from our purchase page and you will receive a registration code. Click Enter Registration on the menu as shown above, then enter the number and click register. 

Here is a step-by-step look at the wizard

Go over a checklist to make sure the PowerPoint presentation is ready

This checklist covers file naming, structure of your PowerPoint presentation and flash screen preparations..

Designate a staging folder

Staging Folder = A place to assemble a group of files that will go on to the CD.

Select PowerPoint Files for the CD

This is where you select the files that make up your PowerPoint presentation.

Select your PowerPoint presentation

Now select the one PowerPoint presentation that will start on autorun.

Select your Flash Screen graphic

This is where you select the graphic file that will display right before your PowerPoint presentation.

Select the timing of the Flash Screen.

This is where you select the duration of the Flash screen.

Now Power Launch 2 has an option to use either the PowerPoint Viewer 1997 or the PowerPoint Viewer 2003

Decide the user environment.

This is where you decide to set up the CD with or without the PowerPoint Viewer. This is easy, if you are not sure, use Option 2.

Final Check

This is the final check before building the files for the CD.

Build your PowerPoint presentation

When you press the Step 2 (Build) button, the GST Power Launch 2 assembles all the necessary files in the staging folder.

Create Your CD

Now, using your CD Creation program, copy all the files to the CD. Shown above is how it would look if you have EasyCDCreator 5. If you have another CD creator program, it should look similar with a source directory and a CD directory. Note that we copy all the files inside the staging folder to the root directory of the CD. Do not copy the staging folder, this will not work. All the files inside the staging folder must be copied (Select All then Copy) to the CD.

Tip

 If the DLL files are not visible, you may need to check an option "show all files". Here is how. 

In the Windows explorer go to the Menu and select either "Tools" as shown below or on some versions of Windows try selecting "View". Now in the drop down menu select "Folder Options" as shown below.

Now on the folder options under "Hidden Files" select "Show all files". Also uncheck "Hide file extensions for known file types". Now click OK at the bottom of the dialog. 

Many CD creator programs use these explorer options to decide what files to show, so by changing them here, the CD creator will also allow you to see all the DLL files.
