This is a basic run-through of the mIRC installation process and setting it up to connect to UKChatterbox.
- Downloading mIRC: Click the following link which contains the download for the latest version of mIRC from it’s website: http://www.mirc.com/get.php. Once it’s downloaded run the mIRC set-up program, currently this is titled mirc719.exe, you should get something like the following picture, click”Run”.
- Once the mIRC Setup Wizard starts, click Next, Agree to the license, Select a folder, I recommend changing it’s default, clicking “Browse” and select Desktop, this is easier for you to get to if you intend on adding scripts to it, then click Next. On the Choose components page, leave it as Full, with ALL of the check boxes ticked. Click Next and make sure ALL of the boxes are ticked, this will probably mean just ticking the bottom one for “Run as portable application”. The portable application option allows the configuration file and scripts to go into our Desktop/mIRC folder, if we hadn’t ticked it, scripts would go into a “hidden” file in c:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/mIRC, which is a nuisance for the average user to get to. Now we’re ready to setup mIRC.
- Click the Run mIRC box and Finish. When mIRC opens you’ll be presented with an About page, and Register/Continue buttons. Click Continue this time, and every time you run mIRC. mIRC is freeware and doesn’t require registration. You should now have the mIRC Options dialogue.
