Installing the Trial Version of XSI

After you download XSI, double-click the downloaded Setup.exe file. This extracts the Setup program onto your hard disk and then automatically launches the Setup.

Finally, the Setup program starts and displays the groovy splash screen.

Next, you'll have to agree to licensing agreement. You can even take the time to read it, but it is pretty much standard stuff (except maybe for the part about XSI not being designed to operate nuclear facilities :-). Select the I accept the terms of the license agreement to continue.

By default, XSI is installed in the folder C:\Softimage. We recommend you use this folder. If you do want to use a different location, click Browse.

Click Next to continue.

The Setup program now has all the information it needs to install XSI. You can review your installation choices, and when you're ready to go ahead with the install, click Next.

The Setup program installs XSI in the folder that you specified.

Click OK to start XSI. Clear the check box if you don't want to start XSI right now.

To start the trial version of XSI, click Start > All Programs > Softimage Products > Softimage XSI 6.0 > XSI Foundation (you can also click XSI Advanced or XSI Essentials; all three shortcuts start the same Trial version).
