In the '''bin''' subdirectory you can find the '''SetupExamples.msi''' setup program file with which you can install Visual Prolog examples. The default subdirectory for examples is '''"Visual Prolog 7.4 Examples"'''. In the '''SetupExamples.msi''' program you can set it as subdirectory of your main Visual Prolog directory or somewhere else.
You can download the latest Visual Prolog [https://www.vusual-prolog.com/link/demo.php demo projects].


=== Visual Prolog Personal Edition Examples ===
Notice that some demo programs may require the Commercial Edition.  The build system will inform you if that is the case.


If you a newer Commercial Editoion you license file will contain a link to the demo programs correcponding to your version.
For the Personal Edition you can only obtain the "current" version of demos, but you can also obtain the "current" version of the [https://www.visual-prolog.com/download.htm Personal Edition].  Older versions of the Personal Edition can be used freely, but is not otherwise supported.
In older versions of Visual Prolog the demo projects was in the installation and could be installed from the menu entry "Help -> Install Examples ..."
Questions and comments to the demo examples can be given in the [https://www.visual-prolog.com/link/discuss.php discussion forum].

You can download the latest Visual Prolog demo projects.

Notice that some demo programs may require the Commercial Edition. The build system will inform you if that is the case.

If you a newer Commercial Editoion you license file will contain a link to the demo programs correcponding to your version.

For the Personal Edition you can only obtain the "current" version of demos, but you can also obtain the "current" version of the Personal Edition. Older versions of the Personal Edition can be used freely, but is not otherwise supported.

In older versions of Visual Prolog the demo projects was in the installation and could be installed from the menu entry "Help -> Install Examples ..."

Questions and comments to the demo examples can be given in the discussion forum.
