To install VT Trader on your computer you must first download the VT Trader executable file to your computer's hard drive. Then, run the executable file by double-clicking it with the left mouse button. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation; you may click the [Cancel] button at any time to abort the installation process

Before choosing your installation options, you must agree to the VT Trader End User License Agreement. Please read through the agreement and then select the radio button next to, "I accept the terms of the License Agreement" to proceed.

Click the [Next] button to proceed. Choose which language packs to install. Installing only your native language(s) will save hard drive space. The English language is the default language and therefore it will remain selected.

Click the [Next] button to proceed. Choose the type of installation you want to perform for VT Trader 2.0. You can choose to a Standalone installation or a Portable installation.
The Standalone installation distributes VT Trader's files into 2 directory structures - a read-only program files directory and an additional data directory. The read-only program files typically install to C:\Program Files\VTTrader 2\ (or C:\Program Files (x86)\VTTrader 2\ if you're using a 64-bit Windows operating system). You can change this installation directory in the next step of installation process if you choose to. The additional data directory installs under the Users directory tree.
In Windows® XP variants, the data directory installs to:
C:\Documents and Settings\<Windows User Account Name>\My Documents\VTSystems\VT Trader\<Unique # Generated By VT Trader>
In Windows® Vista variants, the data directory installs to:
C:\Users\<Windows User Account Name>\Documents\VTSystems\VT Trader\<Unique # Generated By VT Trader>
The Portable installation distributes VT Trader's files into only 1 directory. You can create a Portable installation at any location on your hard drive or even on a removable USB drive. However, your Windows user account must have read and write file privileges to the installation location you choose in order for VT Trader to function properly. By default, a Portable installation of VT Trader will create its directory on your Windows Desktop. You can change this installation directory in the next step of installation process if you choose to.

Click the [Next] button to proceed. Choose an installation location for VT Trader. If the default Destination Folder is acceptable then change nothing. If you want to change the Destination Folder you can do so by clicking the [Browse...] button and selecting an alternate install location.

Click the [Next] button to proceed. If you chose the Portable installation type, [Next] copies the VT Trader files onto your computer's hard drive. If you chose the Standalone installation type, choose the Start Menu Folder.

If you chose the Standalone installation type, click [Install] to copy the VT Trader files onto your computer's hard drive.

Click [Finish] to complete the installation process.
