Quick start guide:
- Download and extract TCE Selector.
- Execute the setup file.
- After choosing your language and the installation directory, you can choose to create shortcuts in your start menu or on the desktop.
- After installation has finished, make sure to grant read/write permission to the directory C:/Program Files/TCESelector for the users, that use the program.
- For advice refer to this Microsoft HowTo.

- Click "Save startscript" (2).

- edit the settings for teaching file creation in the "settings" tab: when using MIRC as receiver, a good choice is to set MIRC Title, Abstract and Category. Important: Pseudonymization is only performed, when "pseudonymization" is checked. Patient name is replaced by Patient ID plus the defined prefix.
- edit the Destination: local AET is the AE title of the store SCP as configured above, Dest. AET and Dest. port are the connection parameters of of the MIRC TCE Service.
- Hit ok to exit the config dialog.
- Either restart your computer or manually start the storeSCP by double clicking the batch file "TCESelectorSCP.bat" in eg. C:/program files/TCEselector
