Installing Shareaza

To use Shareaza you must first download it and install it on your PC. Shareaza will work on Windows XP, 2000, Me, 98, 95 and NT. To install Shareaza, follow these steps:

1. First, using your web browser, go to the Shareaza download page, which offers links to the latest version of Shareaza.
2. On that page you will find a link to download Shareaza, it's named Download Shareaza 2.2.1.0 Now. Click on it and a file download dialog will appear.
3. In that dialog, click "Save To Disk", then it will show another dialog where you can choose where to put the Shareaza setup file: for example, you may save it to the desktop.
4. Once the download is done, look on the desktop look for a red icon with a yellow "S" in it, that is Shareaza's installer. Double click on it to run it.
5. You will be prompted to choose a language to continue using during the installation process.
6. A License Agreement comes up. Read through the GPL and change the radio button to I accept if you agree to the terms and want to continue the installation.
7. There are options to choose the type of installation: most users will be happy with a full installation, which is the default choice.
8. Shareaza will ask you where to create the start menu folder. If you get an error in selecting the location of the install, see the troubleshooter.
9. If you like, choose to install Shareaza with the Multi-User option. In this case, certain files will be installed in your Windows user directory. If another user of the computer wants their own Shareaza installation, have that user also rerun the installer while logged into their account. This way, each user can have different preferences, libraries and settings.
10. There is an option to delete old installers. Choosing it will delete older versions of the Shareaza installer from your hard drive permanently.
11. Once the installation is complete, you can close the installer by clicking on the close button.
12. You might also want to delete the installer program, since it is no longer needed: go to the desktop and find the Shareaza installation file and drag it to the Recycle Bin. (Don't confuse the installer with the shortcut to start Shareaza though.)
13. Now you are done installing Shareaza, and can continue to the next step, which will guide you through running Shareaza for the first time.
