Click on the "Extract" button, as in the screenshot below:
PSIcapture will be extracted into the directory specified in the form of a .EXE file.
Select the PSIcapture Setup executable application file. Right-click on the install file and click "Properties".
At the bottom of the properties window, select the "Unblock" button. This option may not be present on all systems; however, it is vital to unblock the installer if the option exists.
Right-click on the installation package and choose Run as administrator.
Complete the Installation Wizard
The setup wizard will determine if some of the prerequisites needed to run PSIcapture are missing. Note: All missing prerequisites will automatically be selected for the user, if they are not selected the prerequisites were found to be already installed on the system.
Next, the setup wizard will install PSIcapture on the computer.
Review and accept the terms in the License Agreement.
Select the components that are required for the PSIcapture . Then click "Next".
- PSIcapture - This is the core set of modules for processing content within the PSIcapture product.
