Installation



Installing SiteEqualizer is reasonably straight-forward apart from two points:

  1. Downloading and installing Microsoft .NET Framework v1.1 (if you don't have it)
  2. Activating your software (only done once)

Below you can see very clearly the steps involved in the setup process complete with graphics. If you experience difficulties and this guide does not answer your questions then please contact "support @ sitequalizer.com" and explain your problem.

After you have downloaded the zip file to your hard-drive you need to unzip it with a program like WinZip, or Windows XP's built-in unzip. This will present you with the single file seq-setup.exe, which is the SiteEqualizer setup executable file. You simply double-click on seq-setup.exe and it will begin the process of installation.

You then need to agree to the EULA then click Next. On the next screen read the short message about activation and click Next. If you would like to install the program somewhere other than the default, this is the screen where you set that. Otherwise, simply click on the Next button to install to the default folder path.

Unless the installer detects that you do not have Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.1 or higher, that is basically all of the selections. Click on the Next button to confirm the installation and you will see a screen with a progress bar, as all the files are installed.
