Once you've downloaded the installer, the installation is pretty straightforward. Start it by just double-clicking on it. The installer will start immediately

You'll soon see the starting screen:

Just click Next to continue. You'll be asked to accept our license agreement

After accepting and clicking Next, you'll be able to select the destination folder, which by default is set to C:\Program Files\SmartBear\soapUI-4.5.1 but can be changed.

Next step gives you the opportunity to optionally include, as additional components, soapUI source files and Hermes installation.

In case of installing soapUI Pro JDBC drivers jars can be included as additional option (and of course no source is available).

In case you've chosen to install Hermes, the next thing you'll get is the Hermes license agreement

and after accepting it you'll be able to select the Start Menu folder where you want the soapUI shortcut to be added

and whether you would like desktop icon added.

Finally, by clicking Next, the installation starts

After couple of minutes at most, the installation should be finished and you should see the next screen:

Now you are ready to use soapUI. Good luck!
