This page describes how to copy the RTG Bills installation file to another computer.
Like most programs, RTG Bills and RTG Timer require many files to run.
However, it is not convenient to transfer many separate files over
the Internet, so we bundle all the files into a single
file called the installation file.
The installation file looks like an ordinary
program (in other words, it is an EXE file). And, in fact, you copy it
to your hard disk and double-click it to begin. But when you do, it splits itself up into many files and then it starts a setup program to begin the installation.

If you want to download the program on one computer, but install it on a different computer, consider how you will copy the installation file. Here are some possibilities:
- High-capacity removable media
The simplest way to copy the installation file is to put it on a USB flash drive. The installation file is small (about 7 megabytes) compared to the capacity of a flash drive (typically, 512 megabytes and up).
Or, if the computer you use to download the installation file has a recordable CD drive (CD-R or CD-RW), you can put the installation file on a CD-R disk. If the destination computer has a CD drive, even if it does not record CDs, it should be able to read it. This approach has the advantage that you now have a backup of the installation file, in case you need to install it again at a later time (say, after a hard disk crash).
- Network connection
You can copy the installation file over the network to each computer on which you need to install RTG Bills or RTG Timer.
- CD
You can avoid this problem altogether by ordering the software on CD (assuming each PC has a working CD drive).
