If you are using Windows 7:

Download the contents of the Programs subdirectory to a temporary folder on a flash

drive. You will need to install the programs on XP Mode for them to run.

You may need to install the XP Mode software from Microsoft. To do so go to:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7 Follow the directions provided at the Microsoft website. (If you already

have XP Mode installed, no need to reinstall it.)

Open the C: partition under XP Mode. Put the flash drive in a USB port.

If you are using Windows 8 or higher:

Neither MODTAG nor MODCOMP will run on these computers. They do not provideXP mode. We are writing an upgrade to the programs to overcome this problem.

Anticipated availability is September 2015.

9) FIRST install the MODTAG.MSI install module. Accept the default location for the files

(i.e., C:\MODTAG).

10)SECOND, move the MODTAG Updates.ZIP folder to the C:\ root directory. Extract thecontents to update certain files. If you are using WinZip the ZIP folder contains the

required paths, so the files will be installed correctly in the proper folders. Otherwise you

will need to manually insert the updated files.

Verify that the date on the C:\MODTAG\MODCOMP6\Modcomp6.exe file is

11/10/2012. If it is, then the file extraction was successful. (Delete the ZIP folder in

the C:\ directory after you have successfully extracted the files.)

11)Note that the MODTAG Users Guide is located in the C:\MODTAG subdirectory. The

file name is ModTagManual.PDF. The MODCOMP Users Guide is inC:\MODTAG\MODCOMP6, named Instructional Guide for Back-Calculation and the

Use of MODCOMP6.PDF.

12)If you have a Dynatest FWD MODTAG can read native (F20 and F25) and DDX

formatted data files. If you have a JILS, KUAB or Carl Bro FWD, you will need to

convert the native file to DDX format. Use PDDXconvert.exe for this purpose. Installthe PDDXconvert folder in the MODTAG subdirectory. When you run the program a

help screen is available.
