Installation Steps

1.  Start Windows and make sure no other programs are running.

2.  Insert the VTS CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM drive. 

3.  The installation program will normally start automatically. If so, go to step 5.

4.  If the installation program does not start automatically, run Windows Explorer and locate the VTS CD-ROM (CD-ROM drives are often D or E). Look for the Setup.exe program, and run it by double-clicking its icon.

The VTS Logo appears briefly, after which the VTS Installation dialog reminds you to exit all Windows programs before running the setup program.
