It is strongly recommended that you accept the default folder for the installation.  However you can change it via the Browse Dialog if you wish.  You should not:

• Install ADE anywhere inside the Flight Sim or SDK Folder structures
• Install this version into an existing installation.  1.65 is intended to be a clean install.  Later you can import your settings and data from an earlier version.

This progress bar will show while the ADE files are being installed

On completion of the installation you will see this screen.  By default the installer will start ADE when you click Close.  If you do not want it to run now then please uncheck the tick box before clicking Close

When ADE starts it will offer you the New User Wizard if this is a clean installation.  This helps you to set up ADE for the first time.  We recommend that if you have an existing ADE installation that you import your settings and data from there into the new version by clicking the Import Button
