10  Installing the T.O.V.A. on Windows

Note: Windows 8 and 10 systems may require Internet access to install the .NET Framework.

10.1  Starting the T.O.V.A. installer

1. Please close any other applications that are running before installing the T.O.V.A. , to make sure they do not conflict with the install of the T.O.V.A. .
2. Plug the T.O.V.A. flash drive into your USB port. On Windows 8, click the ’Tap to choose what happens...’ message.
3. Before the installer begins installing, you may be prompted; choose ‘Run T.O.V.A. Setup for Windows.exe’.
4. If nothing happens when you plug in the flash drive:
   1. Go to ‘My Computer’
   2. Right-click on ‘TOVA9’
   3. Choose ‘Autoplay’ or ‘Install or run program’

If you get a warning during install, please choose ‘Allow’.

Note: During or after install, your system’s firewall or antivirus software may alert you to changes we are making to your system. If we don’t make these changes, the T.O.V.A. may not function correctly. When asked, please choose ‘Allow’, ‘Unblock’, or whatever allows the installer to proceed.

10.2  Welcome screen

Once you see the Welcome screen (Figure 4), the installation has begun. Click ‘Next’.

10.3  License agreement

The T.O.V.A. software license

If you accept our License Agreement (Figure 5), choose ‘I Agree’ and click ‘Next’. If you don’t accept it, then you can’t install the T.O.V.A. , so click ‘Cancel’. And then please give us a call, because we’d love to know why you don’t agree with it.

From this point on, we strongly recommend that you accept all defaults (just click ‘Next’).

10.4  Choosing the install folder

Choosing a destination path

Figure 6 shows the Destination Location page. You will probably want to accept the default.

10.5  Installing files

While the T.O.V.A. files are installing, you’ll see Figure 7. It could take a few minutes.

Note: If prompted during install, follow the steps to install .NET Framework 3.5.

10.6  Installation finished

T.O.V.A. installer is finished!

You’ve finished installing the T.O.V.A. files. You’ll notice in Figure 8 that ‘Configure T.O.V.A. system preferences’ is checked by default. The T.O.V.A. installation has finished, and your next step should be to configure the T.O.V.A. for this system. Proceed to section 12.
