Important
Test Studio installation must be configured from a Windows Administrator account.
Click the 'Read License Agreement' button to get familiar with it and confirm you read it with the 'OK' button. If you need to read it again after the installation process is finished, you can find it available on the Progress Telerik site here.

On the next screen, click the 'Install' button to perform a default installation and skip to Finish Installation.
If you need to check what components are selected for installation and change these, click the 'Customize' button.
Customize Installation
In the Customize screen you can see each separate component, which the installer wizard can add to the Test Studio installation:
- Visual Studio Plugin for the compatible Visual Studio installations on the computer,
- Sample project folder,
- Testing Framework Samples and Templates,

- Test Studio Services.
Any of these can be removed or added in the Customize screen. You are also allowed to change the default installation path. After making your selections, click the 'OK' button to continue.
There are a few important notes to consider if you select some of the below components:
- If you have Visual Studio Professional or higher installation on the machine, Test Studio plugin for Visual Studio will be automatically selected for installation.
