Getting Started

1.1.0 - All of my forms have been signed, mailed and processed, and I have my username, domain and password. How do I install RealTick for the Internet?

Simply go to the link at the bottom of this page. This will take you to our downloads page, with three links. These links point to the same file -- e.g., RealTick20070228.013.msi -- but are different means of downloading that file. Selecting HTTP download should be good enough for most users.

Save the file to your computer (the default location will be either My Documents or Desktop). Remember where the file is saved. Once the download is complete, double-click on the file and select "Run". This will open the installer. Follow the instructions the installer gives.

NOTE: It is highly recommended that you select "Complete Install" when the installer gives you the option.

The RealTick MSI is over 10MB, so downloading it serves as a decent test of your Internet connection. If you have consistent trouble downloading the RealTick installer, then you are very likely to have problems consistently running RealTick.
