Some browser settings may prevent .exe files from being downloaded, or warn you that the file may be unsafe. If prompted, make sure you mark BriefCatchInstaller.exe as safe so you're able to access the file.

The only requirements are a Windows PC with Word.

Installing BriefCatch Standalone is a piece of cake: you simply download an .exe file and then open it to start the installation process. It takes about 30 seconds. The next time you open Word, BriefCatch S will be the last tab on the right.

(Note: Make sure Word is closed before you install BriefCatch Standalone.)

The first time you open Word after installing BriefCatch Standalone, you may be prompted to confirm the installation. If so, click the Install button.

This can occur if the software was installed using administrative privileges, then a user account without the same administrative privileges attempts to run it. It can also occur if it was installed by a different user account then the one you are using. By default, BriefCatch Standalone installs to the user account that is logged in and is only accessible by that user account. (If you're installing BriefCatch Standalone on a work computer, your IT department should be able to verify this.)

This can also occur if Word was open while BriefCatch Standalone was installed. To help resolve this, completely uninstall BriefCatch Standalone, restart your computer, then try installing BriefCatch Standalone again. Make sure Word is closed before running the installation again.

If reinstalling BriefCatch Standalone does not solve this issue, please follow the steps in our documentation or contact our support team.
