 | 2. Start the XSI Setup program Finally, the Setup program starts and displays the groovy splash screen. |
 | 3. Agree to the Legal Stuff Next, you'll have to agree to licensing agreement.

Select the I accept the terms of the license agreement to continue. |
 | 4. Choose the folder where you want to install XSI 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. |

|
