Installing the BCS on Windows
Run the installer as an administrator for the best experience.
Run the Installer
Once the installer has been downloaded, locate it on your computer. Right-click the icon and select Run as Administrator.
Step Through the Wizard
Click Next to begin.
Click I Agree to accept the license agreement.
Run as a Service (Recommended)
We recommend leaving the Check to run the BCS automatically checkbox ticked (admin users only — see non-admin installation below).
The benefits include automatic updates (you will always be asked permission before updating) and running silently in the background, so you won't need to start the BCS manually every time you want to run a test.
Choose Install Location
Specify the installation folder, then click Install.
Installation Complete
The installation should complete successfully. Click Close to finish.
Non-Admin Installation
When the installer is run without admin privileges, the run automatically checkbox will be greyed out. In this case the default installation directory is the user's Desktop.
The installer will place a file named thebcs.exe on your Desktop. Double-click this file to start the BCS — a small dialog will appear confirming it is running in the background.
