If you are running Windows XP, you can simply double click on the setup file. If you are running Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10 instead of <em>double clicking</em> on the resulting executable setup file, you must <strong>right click</strong> and choose <strong>Run as administrator</strong>.</p> <P>This will launch the BikeCAD Pro setup routine which will place a copy of BikeCAD Pro in your <strong>AppData *</strong> directory and give you the option of placing an icon for BikeCAD Pro on your desktop and Start menu.</P> <P>This should be all that is required to setup BikeCAD Pro.

However, changes in the Windows operating system required that users would need to change the security settings on the configuration folder inside the BikeCAD Pro folder. Installing BikeCAD in the <strong>AppData</strong> folder instead of the <strong>Program Files</strong> folder resolves this issue.</p>","","1","0","1","0","bcurry");
