Software Installation...

Congratulations on your decision to evaluate "Rig Anchor Solutions" anchor placement software. For those of you who are not familiar with the software installation process, this tutorial will instruct you on installation of the software.


This first section, of this tutorial, will cover those of you who have this software on compact disc. 

  • To begin, insert the disc into your computer’s disc drive. When the disc loads, the auto run function (if enabled) will display a dialog box.

  •  Select from this box the option to “open folder to view files”. If auto run is disabled, select computer from the start menu, then select the corresponding drive letter associated with your disc drive. 

  • Once the folder has been opened select “Setup” from the list of files on the CD. 

  • The Install Shield wizard will now start to help guide you through the process.


For those of you who intend to download this software from our website:

  • After clicking “download”, a dialog box will be displayed asking you if you wish to “RUN” or “SAVE”. Select save, then another dialog box will appear asking you what destination location you wish the software to be downloaded to. 
  • We recommend you install the software setup to your desktop for ease of access in the future, however, if you do not save to your desktop please take note of the location the file will be saved to as you will need this information to run the setup wizard after the download completes.
