Detailed step by step installation
To install ASAP Utilities, follow these instructions. Installation is even more detailed described in the User Guide (PDF).Prior to installing
- You must be logged in as an administrator or as a member of the Power Users group to run the setup or you can choose to run the setup as administrator. When the installation is finished every user on the computer is able to use ASAP Utilities.
- It is not recommended to uninstall a previous version of ASAP Utilities. If you do so all settings will be reset to the default settings, such as your favorite tools menu and your registration information (license key).
- It is strongly recommended that all programs currently running on your PC be closed.
- You only need to change these values if you encounter problems; If you have Excel 2003 or 2007, make sure your Security Level is not set to "Very High" before you run the setup. With this "Very High" setting you will not be able to use ASAP Utilities. In the Excel 2003 menu choose: Tools > Macro > Security and set it to high in that case. In Excel 2007 choose: Office button > Excel options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings, then choose "Disable all macros except digitally signed macros" or "Disable all macros with notification".
