  1. Click Next at Welcome-page
  2. View license agreement.
  3. Specify an installation location.
  4. Installation starts. By clicking 'Details' button, you can get more detailed information about installation.

You're DONE!  cwToolbox is installed on your machine.

 

Uninstallation is no more than removing the directory itself.
