Speed Test Tutorial : Installation

Using the Installation Program

*** If you have already installed the Speed Test Installation program, click this link to return to the Speed Test documentation page. ***

Using the Speed Test installation program:

First, you will need to download the file from http://www.vantage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ and follow the 'Download Now' link.

Once you have downloaded the Speed Test, you can run it to reveal a self-extracting Installation program (as if by magic!), which will take you through the process of installing the Speed Test to your hard drive. You will be presented with the screens shown below (in order). Each screenshot below is commented on how to complete it.

This is simply the welcome screen. Click 'Next' to continue.

This screen shows the disclaimer. It basically says that I cannot be held responsible if the Speed Test causes damage to your system. To the best of my knowledge it will not, but you use it at your own risk.

If you accept this disclaimer, click the 'Yes' button to continue, otherwise click 'No' to exit the Setup program.

When asked for the directory you would like to use for installation, I suggest that you leave it as the default, unless of course you want to save it elsewhere. If you are happy with the directory, click the 'Next' button to continue.

This is asking you what Start Menu group you would like to place the Speed Test under. By default, it will create its own "ISP Speed Test" program group, but you can specify another one here. If you do not wish to create a group, click the 'Don't create Start Menu Folder' box.

When you have selected a folder (or accepted the default), click 'Next'.

If you would like to place a shortcut to the Speed Test on your Desktop, leave this box ticked, otherwise click it to remove the tick.

When you are ready, click 'Next' to continue.

This screen confirms the settings you have selected. If you have accepted the defaults, these should be fine but if you have selected your own Installation directory/start menu folder then you will need to check that you haven't made any mistakes.

Click the 'Install' button to begin the Installation process.

This screen shows the progress of the installation. Generally it should take about 3~10 seconds.

That's it! The installation is complete. If you want to start the Speed Test immediately, leave the 'Launch the ISP Speed Test' button ticked, otherwise click it to remove the tick.

When you are ready, click 'Finish' to exit the install program.
