Okay, this is part 1 of my review of Review of Balsamiq Mockups For Desktop + Napkee, where I show you how easy it is to install and set up on Windows Vista Business.

Step 1:
Go to http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups/desktop#download and download and install Balsamiq for Desktop. Adobe AIR is required, so go to Installing Adobe AIR first if you don't have AIR already.

Step 2:
Once installed, it will just open nicely for you. You can register from the Help menu if you have a license:

Step 3:
Go to http://www.napkee.com and download Napkee directly from the home page. It's an AIR app, too.

Step 5:
Once installed Napkee simply opens for you, too:

And that's it (so far)!  Next, I'll blog about how to use the two tools together and what I like and don't like.  So far, there wasn't much to review except to say it was simple and painless to download these and install them via Adobe AIR.
