   - The software installer executable file only (335MB) - This executable installs Doors.NET on your host computer. It does NOT have all the possible options and extras that are found on the DVD. You must have an active Internet connection to complete this process.
   
   - The full software installer (3.81GB) - This executable installs Doors.NET on your host computer. This executable includes every required installation file plus files for every option and feature that could be installed, all in one, large download file.

9. Typically the downloaded file will be found in the Downloads folder on the PC.
