Run Install2400910.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.
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.
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.
Double click the shortcut to run Wintrack for the first time:
- The program will first issue a message telling you that an initialization file Wtr2400910.ini is being created in the Windows directory of your system.
- Then Wintrack will run the Locate Help Home Page dialog asking you to specify the path to the help home page file Index.htm. By default, this file is copied 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.

Delete the Wintrack program folder and all files and subfolders it may contain.
From the Windows folder of your system delete the configuration settings file Wtr2400910.ini.
Remove the program shortcut from the desktop.

Wintrack no longer comes with a HLP file. The Wintrack website contains all necessary information and can thus replace the old HLP file as HTML based help system. The download package includes a local copy of the site, adapted to the downloaded program version.
In addition to paths and events, the program can process and store various types of supplemental data, e.g. object size (imported from Noldus™ EthoVision experiments) or altitude (imported from GPSMS1). The Data parameter of the VDF statement Matrix can be set to SupData to access supplemental data.
In addition to the arithmetic operators + - * /, expressions in VDF statements can now use the @ operator to transform fractions and probabilities (numbers from 0 to 1) to preference scores (e.g. for a subfield in the arena), whereby 0 indicates complete neglect, 1 maximal preference, and 0.5 chance level.
Various smaller bugs have been removed.
