+<h2>Installation</h2>
+<p>By default the <b>NUnit</b> installation program places all of the files into the
+ <b>C:\Program&nbsp;Files\NUnit&nbsp;2.4.7</b> directory. In the installation directory
+ there are three sub-directories: bin, doc, and samples. Source code is no
+ longer provided with the binary installation package. Download the source
+ package if source is needed.
+<h3>Running NUnit</h3>
+<p>The installation program places a number of items in the Start menu. There are
+ a number of shortcuts, which run the NUnit GUI under various versions of .NET
+ or under Mono, depending on the versions available on your system at the time
+ of installation.</p>
+<h3>Configuration</h3>
+<p>When running NUnit from the command line or through the desktop shortcut, the
+ configuration files files nunit.exe.config and nunit-console.exe.config control
+ which version of the CLR is used. As installed, the <startup> section of the
+ config file is commented out and may be left that way unless problems arise.
+ If uncommented, the order of precedence is .NET 2.0, .NET 1.1 and .NET 1.0.
+ To change which version is used, simply change the order of the elements
+ in the config files. The nunit About Box shows the version currently being used.</p>
+<p>Settings that you place in these files are not available to your tests or to the
+ production code you are testing. A separate config file is used when running
+ tests. If you are running tests from the test.dll assembly, the config file
+ should be named test.dll.config. If you are running tests from the NUnit test
+ project MyTests.nunit, the config file should be named MyTests.config. In
+ either case the config file must reside in the same directory as the file from
+ which it takes its name.</p>
+<p>In addition to settings of your own, the config file for a set of tests may
+ contain information used by NUnit in loading your tests. In particular, this
+ allows you to control the apartment state and priority of the thread that NUnit
+ uses to run your tests. Other settings may be added in the future. See the file
+ nunit.tests.dll for an example.</p>
+<h3>Installation Verification</h3>
+<p>Verify that the installation has worked successfully by running the NUnit gui and
+loading and running NUnitTests.nunit in the bin directory. All tests should pass.
+<div class="screenshot-left">
+ <img src="img/gui-verify.jpg"></div>
+<p>
+<p><b>Note:</b> Although the NUnit installation has been modified to allow non-admin
+ users to install, there are still a large number of tests which can only run
+ successfully under an administrative id. This is a problem with the code in
+ the tests themselves, not with NUnit.</p>
+<h3>Timing Tests</h3>
+<p>The assembly timing-tests.dll contains several tests that measure the performance
+ NUnit in loading tests. In addition, it contains some long-running tests that are used
+ to verify that all remoting timeout problems have been fixed. The test cases
+ all run for six to 12 minutes and give no indication whatsoever that they are
+ working! This is required since correct handling of a non-communicative user
+ test is what these tests are all about.</p>
+<h3>Additional Tests</h3>
+<p>Additional tests are included with the samples and in separate assemblies used
+ as data by the verification tests themselves. Failures or not run conditions in
+ these tests are intentional.</p>
+<h3>Manual Installation</h3>
+<p>If you are building NUnit from source, it is recommended that you use the
+ NAnt script for your final build, since it puts all the required files
+ into one directory, from which you can easily copy them. Perform a manual
+ installation by following these steps:</p>
+<ol>
+ <p><li>Copy the following files to the target directory:
+ <ul>
+ <li>nunit.framework.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit.framework.extensions.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit.core.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit.core.interfaces.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit.core.extensions.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit.mocks.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit.uikit.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit.util.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit-console-runner.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit-console.exe</li>
+ <li>nunit-console.exe.config</li>
+ <li>nunit-gui-runner.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit.exe</li>
+ <li>nunit.exe.config</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <p><li>Create shortcuts as needed.</li>
+ <p><li>If you want to be able to run the nunit tests, copy the following files to the
+ same location as the others, along with any additional config files
+ for the dlls.
+ <ul>
+ <li>mock-assembly.dll</li>
+ <li>nonamespace-assembly.dll</li>
+ <li>notestfixtures-assembly.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit.core.tests.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit.extensions.tests.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit.framework.tests.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit.mocks.tests.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit.uikit.tests.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit.util.tests.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit-console.tests.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit-gui.tests.dll</li>
+ <li>nunit.testutilities.dll</li>
+ <li>test-assembly.dll</li>
+ <li>timing-tests.dll</li>
+ <li>NunitTests.nunit</li>
+ <li>NUnitTests.config</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+</ol>
+
+<h4>Installation Under Mono</h4>
+
+<p>Mono is delivered with a version of NUnit already pre-installed. The Mono 1.0 release
+ included a beta version of NUnit 2.2. Later builds may include a more up-to-date
+ version of NUnit. Before attempting to install NUnit under Mono, determine whether
+ an equivalent or newer version is already installed. It may be necessary to remove
+ the pre-installed version from the GAC in order for the new version to be recognized.</p>
