How to install this version of Wintrack...

1. Remove any previous versions of Wintrack from your system - or make sure that you do not install the new version to a program folder that already contains an older version.
2. Run Install2420127.exe. The WinZip Self-Extractor dialog box appears. Specify a destination folder for unzipping the files. This folder will be the Wintrack program folder. The suggested default is C:\Wintrack. Click the Unzip button to start the unzipping process.
3. WinZip Self-Extractor extracts the Wintrack files and folders to the specified program folder and displays a message when done. Click OK to close the message window. Back to the WinZip Self-Extractor dialog, click the Close button.
4. Next, you create a desktop shortcut to the program. Open the folder into which you have installed Wintrack. Select the application file Wtr32.exe and drag it to the desktop. If you want to edit the name of the shortcut or want to specify a working directory for Wintrack, right-click the shortcut and select rename from the menu which appears.
5. Double click the shortcut to run Wintrack. It looks for an initialization file WTR2420127.INI in the Windows directory of your system. The file may already exist if you have previously used Wintrack 2.4.20127 or later. If the initialization file is not found, the following happens:
   • The program issues a message telling you that an initialization file WTR2420127.INI is being created in the Windows directory of your system.
   • Then Wintrack runs the Locate Help Home Page dialog asking you to specify the path to the help home page file Index.htm. During installation, this file was unzipped to the subfolder Hlp of the Wintrack program folder.
   • Finally it automatically starts the on-line tutorial which is part of its on-line help system and provides a step by step introduction to working with Wintrack.

How to remove Wintrack...

1. Delete the Wintrack program folder and all files and subfolders it may contain.
2. From the Windows folder of your system delete the configuration settings file WTR2420127.INI.
3. Remove the program shortcut from the desktop.

What has changed since version 2.4.11027...

• The Acquire EthoVision Experiment command has been improved. Its dialog box and equivalent macro statement now permit to specify a range of trials at which the experiment may resume after skipping a range of trials in individual animals. This helps to prevent inappropriate error messages during import of data from Noldus EthoVision 1.96 experiments with training to criterion schedules in which animals typically perform only part of the possible trials. Note that versions 2.x of EthoVision are not supported by Wintrack.
• The variable dfinition statement Collapse has a new parameter Crit and its parameter Mode allows a new option: Var. The variable definition statement Transform allows two new transformation modes: ClusterMax and ClusterMin.
• The arena definition statement Field allows a new field type: PathCen which centers itself automatically at the gravity center of the path.
• Several smaller bugs have been removed.
