METAbolt Installation
Installing METAbolt is quite straight forward and automated. Simply go to the
download page, click on the "download binary" menu option and then click on the "Download" button on that page. This will download the set-up file in a ZIP compressed file.
Within the download we provide the .NET 3.5 SP1 libraries as well as the Windows Installer binaries for your convenience...hence the file being in ZIP format.

Updates/Upgrades/Patches
Updates are handled automatically. Every time you start METAbolt the application will check to see if there is an update. After that by default it will check every 2 days.
You can manually check for updates at any time by selecting the "Check for updates" menu option under the Help menu in METAbolt. By selecting the "Update configuration" menu option under the Help menu you can change the update settings to your own preferences...you can even disable it altogether if you wish.
Installation Problems
If you have any problems installing by double clicking on the "Setup.exe" file then try double clicking on the "METAboltxxx.msi" file.
If you encounter errors/exceptions after an automated upgrade, removing METAbolt then downloading from this site and re-installing will fix problems in most cases.
