Installation instructions for Windows
systems
1)
Right click on a link above and choose "Save as..."
from the popup menu, then choose where you want the SBTD.msi
file and make a note of its location. After installation
you can give this file to a friend.
2)
Double-click (or run) the SBTD.msi file and follow the directions to install the software on your computer. (Vista does not like the program in the Program Files folder.)
3) Open the program by clicking the shortcut for the Small Business Tracker.exe on your desktop. A new program group is added to your Start menu with shortcuts to tips, registration information and an uninstaller.
Warning: you can't install two copies of either the same program, or more than one program on one computer using the Installer (.msi) files. If you want to install additional programs, download this .zip file. If you download the .zip file you will need to install the software in your Documents folder and create a shortcut to the application. YOU MUST delete the .zip file before using the software.

Installation instructions for Macintosh OSX systems
Just
click on the Download Installer link for OSX above and the file will be downloaded to your
computer. The
.dmg file should automatically mount as a new drive in a
new Finder window. If not, just double-click it. Next copy
the Small Business Tracker folder from the virtual drive to your Applications
folder. Then eject the virtual drive and delete the .dmg file.
Mac users need to copy the software from the installer to their Applications folder
and run the software from there.
Next open your Applications folder, open the new Small Business Tracker
folder, then double-click on the Small Business Tracker.app. You may also
want to drag the new program to your Dock, so you can easily
locate Small Business Tracker Deluxe in the future.
Here's the workaround for opening Small Business Tracker Deluxe in Mountain Lion and later.
Gatekeeper gives you three security options. Just like today, you can download and install apps from anywhere on the web. Or you can choose the safest option and download and install apps only from the Mac App Store. Or use the default option, which allows you to download apps from the Mac App Store as well as those signed with a Developer ID. If an app is unsigned, Gatekeeper blocks the app from being installed and warns you that it did not come from an identified developer. If you’re sure the app is safe, which all SpiritWorks Software is, you can manually override Gatekeeper by Control-clicking the app and choosing to open it.
