- Run the file, the program will automatically open when the installer is done

Obtain your APK files Drag-and-mode your APK files on to the window (you can drag more than one file on to the window at once) If you ever make a mistake, double-click on the files to install textbox to open a "Files To Install" window to change the files you are going to install. Click OK on the window when you are finished with the "Files to Install" window Make sure an Android device (in development mode with USB debugging enabled) is connected to the computer. Click Install
The device needs to be in development mode, with USB debugging enabled and connected to your computer. If you are using a ADB TCP/IP bridge, try connecting the phone with a USB cable.
The ADB versions in use are most likely too different to use the TCP/IP bridge. However, if you add your platform-tools to the system path, or if you correctly configure the ANDROID_HOME enviroment variable to point to your Android SDK. The program will use the Android SDK's copy of ADB.
Important: The program will not use any copy of ADB located under the Windows directory (%windir%), as that version is most likely out-of-date.
