Depending on the version you download, choose where to install the program, if you already have a previous version, you can install on top that, it'll simply update the files and adds the license to use permanently instead of the 30 day trial, you'll not be asked to purchase any more or register! However, we recommend un-installing the old version as that may not work 100% to the desired results Find where you installed it, open the WirelessGet folder and create a short cut for the file WirelessGet.exe on your desktop (send to desktop as a short cut) if the installer did not ask you to create it, saves you time going to that folder every time you needed to start the program! Uninstalling WirelessGet Browse your WirelessGet folder where you installed the program, run unins000.exe or uninst.exe (depending on your version). Delete the folder if you like and the short cut you made if they are still there! Depending on the version you downloaded, with some versions: You can find "Uninstall WirelessGet" shortcut in Start Menu All Programs->WirelessGet, click it.
