Instant Text 9 Installation

System Requirements:

To download the installer, please click the following link:

Then, choose Save or Run.

Once the installer is running and you have accepted the terms of the License Agreement, you will be prompted to select the installation folder:

Program Files Installation Portable Installation

The default installation follows Windows conventions, placing the software in the Program Files folder:

Alternatively you can change the installation folder to C:\InstantTextEXP or any other folder outside the Program Files folder:

The Program Files Installation creates 2 InstantTextEXP folders:

  • The first InstantTextEXP folder under Program Files that contains an Exe subfolder with the IT9Pro.exe and the required dlls:

  • The second InstantTextEXP folder under Documents that contains the user specific data like glossaries and settings:

The path of the InstantTextEXP folder under Documents may vary depending on your use of OneDrive:

  • C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\InstantTextEXP if you do not use OneDrive to sync documents.
  • C:\Users\%USERNAME%\OneDrive\Documents\InstantTextEXP if you do use OneDrive to sync documents.

In this case you will get a so‑called portable installation with the executable and the user specific data bundled under a single InstantTextEXP folder.

The Portable Installation creates a single InstantTextEXP folder which contains both the executable and the user specific data:

The Exe subfolder contains the IT9Pro.exe executable and the required dlls.

The Configs, Glossary, Settings, Temp and Readme subfolders contain the user specific data.

Click on OK and all your settings of the previous Instant Text installation will be copied over to IT9 Pro.

All your existing glossaries (.glo) will be copied to the InstantTextEXP\Glossary folder and then converted to the new XML format (.xglo).

Note:

Any former Instant Text installation stays intact.

Instant Text 9 is installed in a completely separate folder called InstantTextEXP and leaves the InstText or InstantTextWNP folders of previous versions unchanged.

It is easy to return to a former version if you wish to.
