I would recommend you to post it to: Free Tools Discussion Boards[^]

It will last more than a couple of hours in the first page.

Chrome, Firefox, and Edge all have built in PDF readers. In addition, Adobe Acrobat Reader is free. No need to find yet another PDF reader.

You do not need to embed a PDF viewer in your software. Your customers should have a PDF viewer on their machines. Just distributing your PDF manual will do fine.

The manual is part of your installer? Or your license?

When they get to the license screen, if it's part of an installer, most people just try to find the quickest way to click on the Next button (or scroll to the end to enable it, if you're that evil type). I would not go all fancy in the installer.

As others have said, people should already have their own PDF viewer.

And if you really do have the manual embedded in your installer...may I suggest this is not the place for it? A shortcut in your app's folder in its Start menu has been the traditional way to do it since Windows has allowed installers to create shortcuts. As a user, I'm not going to start reading a manual while installing. And a last-minute readme is also typically kept outside and distributed along the installer itself.

Real men create integrated "help" files.

About 40 years ago I had a record (vinyl that time). I gave it away to a friend, but since about 30 years I'm looking for that.

The interpret was called approximatly 'bybatilax' or 'bibatylax' or ..., I can be easy wrong on spelling that. One song on that record -from which I was fascinated- was about thunderstorm with a great guitar part.

Any memories on something like that?

Thank you very much in advance

Not a lot to go on ... No bands with either of those names ...

How about any of these? songs about thunderstorms 1980s - Google Search[^]

The only song that I remember related to "rain" with a big gitar solo, was this: Guns N' Roses - November Rain - YouTube[^]

BLACK SABBATH - "Black Sabbath" (Official Video) - YouTube[^]

I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

Guessing that word involves 'battle axe', I tried a search for 'battle axe lp', eventually found this on youtube AVALANCHE-Battle Axe Vinyl Remastered - YouTube[^] which has the words 'when the thunder roars' as a track name (not on that clip), so then searched for that phrase and 'avalanche' and found this: Avalanche - When The Thunder Roars (HQ) - YouTube[^]

Is that, perchance, what you were after?

Update: the LP may be 'pray for the sinner', but rather oddly, that 'thunder' track does not appear in this listing: https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/avalanche/pray-for-the-sinner/[^] but note track B4 is 'Battle Axe' - and a comment by witchtrap says "P.d: on my lp the song BATTLE AXE is named WHEN THE THUNDER ROARS. Strange"
