   To get ACRO running in your PC

Click the green [Download ACRO now] button to obtain the new ACRO Installer. When the download is complete double-click the new file (it will be called "ACRO_16-12-12_install.exe" or similar) or right-click and 'Run' it to install the new version.
 

If you already have ACRO installed on your computer the installer will update your software and leave all of your existing contest, work-files, pilot-photos and settings completely intact.

There will now be a new shortcut on your Desktop to run the ACRO scoring programme.

You can also start ACRO by double-clicking the contest filename in Explorer ('some-filename.ctf') or right-click the file and use the "Open" command from the pop-up menu.

Contest files with the .ctf suffix are recognisable in Explorer by their ACRO logo ....

   Keeping your ACRO software up-to-date
ACRO automatically checks for updates every time it starts provided you're online - just follow the instructions. You do NOT have to uninstall ACRO before you do this, just close it down if it is already running. Your existing ACRO contest, log, work-files, photographs and support files will all remain safe and untouched.
ACRO is a .NET Framework application created using Windows Visual Studio. During the installation process the Installation Wizard will check that your Microsoft Windows™ .NET Framework is current, and if necessary will carry out all necessary upgrades by accessing the internet and fetching/installing the required material. This could mean a several-MB download from Microsoft, depending on the current status of the .NET Framework that is installed in your pc.
If you do have problems operating the software which you think may be due to the currency of your computer's VB.NET support software, you can download and install the most recent version of the "Microsoft .NET Framework Redistributable Package (x86)" separately - this is available from the link below:
