Installation Notes

1. AQUATOX can be installed into the Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 

operating systems.

2. AQUATOX must be installed by an Administrator. 

3. Select a directory where the intended user will have read-write-execute 

privileges. The default installation location is the desktop. The user’s 

“Documents” or “My Documents” folder should also work.

4. If AQUATOX will be run by a user with a “standard” account, full read, 

write, and execute privileges must be granted to that user for the directory in 

which AQUATOX has been installed. These privileges are usually present on a 

user’s desktop or “Documents” directory. (If installing to a different directory, 

please see the screen capture and step-by-step instructions at the end of this 

document).

5. AQUATOX Can be Uninstalled either by running the installer again or by 

selecting “Add or Remove” programs from the Control Panel.

General Installation Procedure 

1. Download and double-click the AQUATOX Installer EXE.

2. Accept the AQUATOX license agreement. This agreement basically states that 

the source code and executable are open source but also states that the program is 

provided on an "as is" basis, without warranties or conditions of any kind, either 

express or implied.

3. Select the location to install AQUATOX. Generally it is best not to use the 

“Program Files” directory as under many operating systems this directory does 

not grant the Read-Write-Execute privileges required by AQUATOX. The 

desktop is the default installation location or the user’s “Documents” folder is also 

an acceptable installation location.
