AV Bible Version 2007 (AV-2007) is now available. The previous version, AV-2005, is also still available (see below).
The 2007 release has been tested with Windows Vista and Windows XP. Now in its eleventh year, the AV Bible for Windows first appeared as AV-1996. BTW, the printed AV bible was
first published in 1611 (not long after the invention of the
printing press).
As this is a new release, please see AV-2005 for further details. Please report any problems on Facebook to the "AV Bible" group or contact me by email if you are not on Facebook.
View the release history here. See instructions in PDF format.
AV Bible Version 2005 (AV-2005) is still available. It provides an easy-to-use search facillity and versatile desktop publishing capabilities. AV-2005 is replacement for AV-2004 (uninstall AV-2004 prior to installing AV-2005).
AV 2005 runs on Windows XP and Windows 2000.

AV Bible SDK - 2008 Edition (Alpha Release - Developers Only)
Software Development Kit (Click here for SDK): The AV Bible SDK is finally available in an alpha release. This is for developers only. Sample code and unit tests are still being developed. However, documentation is provided (Download PDF here)
AV MDK (version 5.2)
NOW AVAILABLE: You can publish and distribute AV
2005 on diskettes. Of course distribution, as always, is royalty
free. Make as many copies as you like and give them to as many
people as you choose. However, you need a separate kit to
distribute the diskette edition of AV 2005. This kit is called
the AV Media Distribution Kit (AV MDK).
Use the AV MDK and start making diskettes for your friends, family, and aquaintances. If you do distribute AV-2005 on floppies, please let me know (send me email) as I always like to hear how AV-2005 is being used in your ministry; I'd also be glad to provide further instructions if things are not completely clear.
Click here to download the AV MDK (creates floppy disks).
There is also a zipped archive, if you prefer to distribute AV-2005 on CDROM; the contents of the zip file can be directly burned if you have a writable CDROM. The Zip file is available here.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
The AV-MDK "Floppy Disk Creator" also provides a
Microsoft Word Document that allows you to print Avery
"5196" labels, providing a production-level appearence
that can be applied to even used diskettes. Similarly, CDROM
labels are contained within the zip file.
AV 2000 - (version 1.7)
AV-2000 is still available. It sharesthe same underlying bible
text as AV-2005, but in a slightly different format and
processing engine. On slower machines and/or limited-memory
(computers with less than 128 megabytes of RAM), AV-2000 may
indeed suit your needs better than the latest AV-2005 release.
AV-2000 is supported on Windows-2000, Windows-98, and Windows-95.
AV-2000 is also known to run with older versions of Microsoft
Internet Explorer, such as MSIE Version 4.01 (The baseline
recommended version of MSIE for AV-2005 is MSIE Version 5.5).
There has also been more significant testing of AV-2000 on older
versions of Windows, such as Windows95 and Windows98. But you
make the choice (However, as yet, I have not tested if AV-2000
and AV-2005 can be installed side-by-side onto the same machine).

AV 1611
- (PDF Format)
The AV-1611 is now available in PDF format. If all you want
to do is print and/or read the scriptures, each book (all 66) of the KJV bible is
published in PDF format. You can do similar things with
AV-2005. (First, I used AV-2005 to publish each book in WordPerfect format, then I used Abobe Acrobat to convert them to PDF)
Finally something that everyone can use even the Mac and Linux folks.
The entire bible is also wrapped up in a single PDF file. You can download that file here. (However, you'll also need the free Adobe Acrobat Viewer).
