BridgeComposer

 

Installation

Installation is automatic. Select Open when downloading a ".msi" file from this website, or double-click it after downloading. (Any method that causes the ".msi" file to be opened by Windows Installer will work.)  Administrator privileges are required.

After installing, programs will appear as tiles on the Start screen, or prior to Windows 8, in the Bridge Club Utilities folder of the Start menu.

Getting Started

Whenever you start BridgeComposer from its tile on the Start screen (or the Bridge Club Utilities folder of the Start menu, prior to Windows 8), a window will open containing an empty, untitled document (see image at left). From this window, you may use menu commands:  use Board→New to enter a new board; use File→Open to open an existing bridge file (PBN, LIN, BRI, DUP or DLM format); use Tools→Generate Random Boards to generate random boards; use Help→Help Topics for complete documentation.  See also the Tutorials and Gallery page on this website for additional information.
