I certainly agree that Rockwell software can seem intimidating at first, but like anything, it gets easier with practice. As for FT View SE, you'll start by inserting the disc into your drive, or if you've got a digital copy, just run the installer file. Typically, you'll follow the prompts in the installation wizard which ask you to agree to the license terms, select the install location, and decide if you want a desktop icon or not. The key part is selecting 'Local Station' when it asks you for the type of installation. Once everything's installed, you might need to restart your computer. Finally, just launch the software from the start menu or desktop. Each installation varies though, so if you run into any issues, feel free to ask!

Absolutely understand your predicament, the Rockwell installations can seem daunting at first! I recently installed FT View SE on my workstation and it was a smooth process. First, make sure you have all the necessary prerequisites installed on your machine, things like .NET Framework and certain drivers. Next, double click the installer and follow through the prompts carefully. Don't forget to key in your activation key when it asks for it. I also found Rockwell's own step-by-step guide in their knowledgebase really helpful, so be sure to check it out. Good luck with your installation, take your time and you'll be fine!
