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

and propose to migrate your settings and glossaries:
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.
