Redistribution implies far greater risks and responsibilities than personal use. Even if you normally don't virus-check your files, we recommend that you do so before publishing your project. Make sure that your antivirus software and virus definition data are up-to-date (i.e. updated on the same day). |

Test your project. Ideally, you should run the project on a different computer and/or drive letter. Make sure that all links work, including links in documents referenced by MenuBox (HTML, PowerPoint, etc.) |
Paths and Current Directory |

If your MenuBox configuration files use conditional code, make sure that all conditions are tested and that the associated sections are executed. |
Configuration File Options |
| |
If your project is designed to run as an AutoRun application, create and mount an ISO image, or burn a real CD or DVD and test the medium on as many computers as possible. |
AutoRun CDs and DVDs |

Are you using MenuBox to open documents which require a specific viewer (e.g. PowerPoint Viewer, Acrobat Reader, Shockwave Player, etc.)? Use the [ApplicationCheck] section to verify that the required viewer/version actually exists on the target system, and automatically install it or at least display a message if necessary. Check out the web site of the viewer's publisher (e.g. Microsoft, Adobe, Macromedia, etc.) to determine technical and legal requirements for redistribution. |

Test your fonts. If you use fonts, did you make sure that these fonts are available on all systems, including Windows 95 (like HTML, the [LinkFont] and [DescriptionFont] sections in simple window mode support multiple font names to provide for fallback choices)? Did you test the fallback font? If you are using MenuBox in browser window mode, are your font sizes expressed in pixels ("px" units, recommended to preserve the intended pixel-exact sizes)? If you are not sure, try opening the HTML files with Internet Explorer, and toggle the View/Text Size setting from Largest to Smallest: the page content should not change. |

Don't forget extreme conditions, if applicable. Your project may run on systems with different screen resolutions. Does your window fit in 800x600 pixels? And in 640x480 (although you may decide to not support this resolution)? If you are using a full-screen window, does it display well on larger resolutions, e.g. on a 3200x1200 pixel dual monitor setup? |
