Instructions:
1. Unzip the Fix_GE_API.zip to a directory eg: C:\FIX_GE The password is: phiggins
2. Optionally create a System Restore point in case something goes wrong. See Appendix C if you don't know how to do this.

4. If you have any old versions of GE or GE Pro installed then uninstall them.
5. Install the latest version of GE or GE Pro. You can use either the GoogleEarthSetup.exe or GoogleEarthProSetup.exe in this directory to install
the latest version of GE or GE Pro. Use
license code "gepfree" for GE Pro.
