Installing
After downloading MediaMonkey double click on the downloaded installer to start the install process. This process is the same for a first time install or for installing an upgrade.

Installation step 1 - The next window will welcome you to the Setup Wizard.
Installation step 2 - License Agreement, read and select I to continue.
Installation step 3 - Destination Folder, allows you to choose to do a Portable Install instead of a regular install and define in which folder MediaMonkey should be installed.
- Portable Install will keep all MediaMonkey's files including the registry, settings, database and Addons, Podcasts, Virtual CD, Previews, Temp and Cache folders in the MediaMonkey install folder. These files and folders can be found in the Portable folder in the folder where MediaMonkey is installed.
- It is not recommended to do a Portable Install in the Program Files folder due to Windows restrictions on this folder.
- Portable Install can be done on an external drive/USB memory to be able to use it on multiple computers.
Installation step 4

Installation step 5 - Installing, will show you the installation progress.
Installation step 6 - Completing the Setup Wizard, will allow you to open the Readme and/or launch MediaMonkey.
