How do I install the ISDP Multi-file Download Tool?

The ISDP Multi-file Download Tool is a stand-alone application that allows you to download aerial photos, topographic maps, and other spatial data from the Indiana Spatial Data Portal (ISDP). This tool is especially useful for downloading multiple files in one setting. Note that this application will not replace the ISDP web site, which continues to offer downloads on a single-file download basis.

To install the ISDP tool:

1. If you have the ISDP Mutli-file Download Tool version 1.0 or 1.1 on your computer, uninstall the software before proceeding to the next step. For instructions, see In Windows, how do I uninstall programs?
