That's it! You're on your way!

*The setup file is self-extracting and will install itself in the default directory (C:\TELEMET) or any directory you specify. Simply follow the install prompts. This file will also create a “shortcut” on your desktop and a program group (go to "Start - Programs - Telemet"), both called "Telemet."
