Overview of Single File Downloads

In order to make downloading & demonstrating IMG software as simple as possible, a single file, self-extracting, self-installing file approach is used, and is the preferred method of download software (see below for other methods).

Products that have versions that are different for different versions of windows have a Smart Download option - this single file runs, senses the version of windows, then downloads and runs the appropriate download. You do require internet access on the system you want to download the IMG software to use this option. If you are downloading for a different system, or will move the software before installing, you cannot use the Smart Download option. Below the Smart Download option, click on the link labeled with "To see all download options (EXE, USB, U3, MSI, Zip, etc.), click here " - the page will refresh, and there will be distinct links for ALL download options. Then select the correct file for the version of Windows you will install on, and your browser will prompt you to run or save the file. Save the file, and note the saved location. When ready to install, double-click or open the install file (EXE/MSI). If the standard EXE download does not work on your target system, try the MSI version.

The following is the general approach (along with some known issues) used by the downloaded files:

QW0105120389
How long does a typical download take?

There are all types of data connections available, and the speed of the download depends not only on the size of the download, but the type of Internet connection you have and the volume of Internet (or local) data traffic. For a typical 56K modem, a 1MB (1000K) download will take between 9-15 minutes.
