# Installation
1. Install .Net Framework 3.5
- This can be installed directly through Windows by going to Start > Turn Windows Features On or Off > check the checkbox next to “.NET Framework 3.5” > Click OK
2. Install SeleniumBasic to control Chrome
- https://github.com/florentbr/SeleniumBasic/releases/tag/v2.0.9.0
- Make sure to “Run as Administrator” on the file when installing so that it gets installed to `C:\Program Files\SeleniumBasic`. Otherwise it will get installed to `\AppData\` and the Uploader will not be able to connect to Selenium and to Chrome.
3. Download latest ChromeDriver for your Chrome version so Selenium can connect to Chrome for automation
- Open Chrome and type in `about::version` into the URL bar. The very first line will tell you what Chrome version you have
- https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads
- Extract “chromedriver_win32.zip” and move the extracted chromedriver.exe to: `C:\Program Files\SeleniumBasic\chromedriver.exe`
# Uncaught Script Errors
Ive done my best to catch any possible errors that might pop up and write functionality to handle them. But there might be ones that I havent found yet. If an error happens it will pop up a message box that looks like this. If you get any errors like this please send me a screenshot so I can write a patch for the bug.
