screenshot: Welcome to the ASAP Utilities setupInstallation is as easy as to follow the steps presented to you when you run the ASAP Utilities setup.

User Guide

To install ASAP Utilities, follow the steps presented to you when you run the ASAP Utilities setup. The installation is even more detailed described in the User Guide (PDF).

Prior to installing

  • Just like with most programs, you must be able to install software on your computer. For ASAP Utilities this means that you must either have administrator privileges or be a member of the Power Users group to run the setup. If you have a "limited user" account, you can choose to run the setup as administrator.
    When the installation is finished then every user on the computer is able to use ASAP Utilities in Excel.
  • 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).
  • Just like with most programs it is recommended that all programs currently running on your computer are closed before you run the setup.

Performing the installation

Step 1

Download the installation file and double-click it. The installation wizard begins and the welcome dialog is displayed. Click on the Next-button to continue.

Step 2

The License Agreement dialog is displayed. Please take time to read the licence agreement. If you agree choose "I accept the agreement" and then click on the Next-button. If you disagree with the license terms, choose "I do not accept the agreement". If you do not accept the agreement the installation will not continue.

Step 3

An information dialog is displayed. Click the Next-button to continue.

Step 4

Select a folder to install ASAP Utilities. We recommend you use the default folder, "C:\Program Files\ASAP Utilities\" but any other location can be used too.
ASAP Utilities requires approximately 19 MB of disk space.
If you have a previous version of ASAP Utilities installed, select that folder (the setup-program should detect it though), usually this is "C:\Program Files\ASAP Utilities\". (If you are not sure about that location you can see it in ASAP Utilities.)
Click the Next-button to continue.

Step 5

If you want to, then ASAP Utilities can create an entry in your start menu. Click the Next-button to continue.

Step 6

If you want the ASAP Utilities menu to be automatically added in Excel for all users on this computer choose "Anyone who uses this computer (all users)". Click the Next-button to continue.
This will automatically add ASAP Utilities to the Excel menu for each user that logs in on the computer. This is also handy when you log in with normal user-rights and run the setup as an administrator. At the end of the setup, we'll show how to manually add ASAP Utilities to the Excel menu if needed (step 10).

Step 7

Click "install" to install the files to the selected folder.


The setup program will begin to install files.

Step 8

The setup will show you what is new in this version:

Step 9

All files are now copied to your hard disk. Click the finish button.

Step 10

In the menu you will find a new item called "ASAP Utilities". If you don't see ASAP Utilities in the menu, run through steps 3 to 6 of the Manual installation.

The installation is finished and you are ready to use ASAP Utilities. If you choose to create a start-menu folder in step 5 a new program folder called "ASAP Utilities" is created in your start menu:

Step 11: Make ASAP Utilities the full registered version

  1. In the Excel menu choose "ASAP Utilities" > "Trial version"
    Or
    In the Excel menu choose "ASAP Utilities" > "Unregistered version" and then click on the button "Enter registration information"

    Excel 2000, 2002/XP and 2003:

    Excel menu  ASAP Utilities  Unregistered version

    Excel 2007/2010:

    Excel 2007 menu > ASAP Utilities > Unregistered version
  2. Fill in the fields exactly as used when you placed your order. You received two emails after the order was completed. The email from "ASAP Utilities (A Must in Every Office BV)" contains the full license information.
    After you entered the information click on the "Register" button.
    We recommend you to use "copy and paste" to avoid typing errors. The information is case sensitive. You can use the shortcut Control+V to paste the information in the fields.
