Downloading the software

If you agree to the licence shown above, you can download the setup program for the Quick Unicode Input tool by clicking on the link below.

Quick Unicode Input tool	Installation program, 101KB.
	If for any reason you want to download using the FTP protocol instead of the usual HTTP, press the symbol next to the description of the file you want. Some firewall configurations may need adjusting before you can use FTP.

Note: Web browsers are variable and they change constantly, especially where security settings are concerned. The messages and procedures shown here may be slightly different on your system, but the principles remain the same.
Internet Explorer: you will be asked what to do with the Application file called quick100.exe. Whether you choose Run or Save is up to you. Since you only need to install Quick Unicode Input once, Run is perfectly adequate; but we ourselves prefer to keep copies of the installers for all the software we download, so we normally use Save. Another reason for using Save would be if you wanted to download the installer once and then run it on multiple computers. If you choose Run, Internet Explorer will save quick100.exe to a temporary folder. It will then ask you for further confirmation before it runs quick100.exe for you. If you choose Save, Internet Explorer will save quick100.exe to a folder of your choice. Remember to make a note of which folder you have chosen! After the file has been saved, Internet Explorer may offer to run (or open) quick100.exe for you: if you want to install Quick Unicode on this computer, accept the offer.
Mozilla Firefox: you will be asked what to do with the Application file called quick100.exe. Accept the default option, which is 'Save to Disc'. Make a note of the folder where Firefox is saving the file, so that you don't need to search your hard disk for it afterwards. If you want to install immediately after the download, click on the Open link in Firefox's Downloads window. If a warning appears saying that quick100.exe is an executable file, press OK to accept it.
Opera: you will be asked where to save the file quick100.exe. Make a note of the folder where Opera is saving the file, so that you don't need to search your hard disk for it afterwards. The Transfers window will show you how far the download process has progressed. Once the download has completed, you can double-click on the filename quick100.exe to start the installation.

Installation

Make sure you agree to the licence before you start installing the Quick Unicode Input tool.

To start the installation process

Depending on the details of how you downloaded the Quick Unicode Input tool's installer, your web browser may have started the installation automatically. If it hasn't, then:

Locate quick100.exe on your hard disk (if you made a note of where it was saved, this is easy, otherwise you will have to use the search facilities of Windows).
Double-click on it.

What happens next

The installer chooses a folder for you, but you can choose to install the Quick Unicode Input tool into a different folder either by typing the folder name or by using the Browse button.

You can choose whether to create a desktop shortcut to make it easier to start the tool, or whether to start it automatically when you log in to Windows. If you are an Administrator for your computer, you will have the option to make these choices for all users of your computer (if you are not an Administrator, your choices will apply to you alone).

Starting the Quick Unicode Input tool automatically

If you didn't specify this option when you installed the Quick Unicode Input tool then you can still arrange for Windows to start the tool automatically whenever you log in to Windows. To do this, right-click on your Start button, select "Explore", then "Programs", then "Startup". This will open your Startup folder. Now right-click in the folder, select "New Shortcut", and create a shortcut to the quick.exe program file (usually in C:\Program Files\Quick Unicode Input). Note: if you are using Windows in a language other than English then the name of the Startup folder will be different.

Uninstalling the software

Open the Add/Remove Programs page in your Windows Control Panel, click on the "Quick Unicode Input tool" item in the list, and press the button marked "Change/Remove".
