Step 3: Move Rheingold folder
Move the folder to C:\EC-APPS
Note: You can place the folder as-well in C:\Program Files, or wherever you'd like. I personally like having it in EC-APPS because its easy to find.

Step 4: Create Shortcut
Create a shortcut for IstaGUI.
Location: Rheingold\TesterGUI\bin\Release

Move the shortcut to the desktop, or wherever you would like.




In this example, I decided to drag the shortcut to my Desktop.
