Step-by-step installation of Notesbrowser:

Welcome! Here is how to install Notesbrowser!

Chapters in this Step-by-step tutorial:
A. Download the setup file from the internet
B. Install Notesbrowser with the Setup
C. Start Notesbrowser (and register if you have bought it)
D. Troubleshooting



This tutorial describes the installation on an English Windows Vista and with Internet Explorer 7 but the procedure are nearly the same with Firefox or Chrome Browser and Windows 10. The screenshots will look a bit different.



A. Download the setup file from the internet
1. Go to our homepage https://www.notesbrowser.com

2. Click on the download button in the menu to go to the download page (red circle in the screenshot!)

Alternative: If you want to install a different language than English click on a flag in the right upper corner
and go to the download page of the desired language:

3. You should be on the download page now. If it is the English download page the address should be:
https://www.notesbrowser.com/en/download.html

For example if you want to download the Spanish Notesbrowser the address will be this:
https://www.notesbrowser.com/es/descarga.html


Note! The following screenshots are made with Internet Explorer 7. But they will look and behave
nearly the same with Firefox or other browsers. If you have difficulties, please use the Internet Explorer
for these steps.

4. Scroll down a bit on the download page until you see this download button (red circle!):

5. Click on the "Download Notesbrowser" button with the right mouse button:
Image
And select "Save Target As".

6. You will see a tiny windows appear where you can select the target path where you want to
save the setup file:
Image
Note: If the window is very tiny you can drag this window bigger if you hold the left mouse button pressed where the
red circle is in the screenshot and move the mouse until the window is bigger

7. Now the window is bigger:

Choose a target path where to save the setup file. If you are not sure what to do, don't change the path at all.

Note: You should remember where you put the file to start the setup later.

8. Now click on "Save"
The file will be downloaded from the Internet and this screen will appear after a short time:
Image

You can click on "Run" and the Notesbrowser setup should start (go to chapter B step 3 then). Or
locate the setup file first by clicking on the button "Open folder" to locate in on your harddisk.



B. Install Notesbrowser with the Setup

1. Locate the setup file on your harddisk to start the setup:
Image

2. You can now start the setup with a double click on the setup file

OR alternatively if you experience problems, you can start the setup with a right click and then
choose "Run as administrator"
Image

3. You should see this screen now:
Image

Click on "Next" two times, then on button "Accept".

4. You should now see this screen:
Image

You don't have to change this path. Do only change it if you want to install Notesbrowser to a flash drive/portable drive/network or cloud location. For example if your flash drive has the drive letter E:\
you can choose the path E:\Notesbrowser to install it to your flash drive


5. Click on next:
Image

Note: The option "Autostart" will create a shortcut that starts Notesbrowser minimized as a icon
every time you start the PC. You can remove it later if you don't want this.

6. Click on "Install"
Image

After a while the setup is finished:

7. Click "Close" and Notesbrowser should start

You can also start Notesbrower by clicking on the icon on the desktop.

If you have problems starting Notesbrowser for example you have read/write permission problems,
start Notesbrowser with Administrator rights:
Image
Note: If you have found out that Notesbrowser needs Administrator rights to run properly
every time, you can change the shortcut to do so:
Right click the shortcut->Properties->Compatibility->Run this program as an adminstrator




C. Start Notesbrowser (and register if you have bought it)

1. Start Notesbrowser. If you start Notesbrowser the first time, this screen should appear:
Image

Click on the arrow.

2. In this screen you can select if you want to use the Freeware or the Professional version
(Pro is preselected). The Freeware is free but has certain limits. The Professional can be tested 60 days
for free and after that you can either buy the Professional or switch to the Freeware (No data will be lost!).
Image
So we recommend you don't change this option and press the OK Button.

Finished! Notesbrowser is now ready and can be used!
