Speed Plus 9 is installed with one small program, SpeedPlusSetup.exe. It asks two questions (which folder, which parts), then downloads and installs everything. The same file later repairs, updates and removes the software. Your company data is kept apart from the program, so none of these jobs can harm it.
1.1What You Need Before You Start
| You need | Why |
|---|---|
| A Windows PC | Speed Plus 9 is a Windows program. Keep free space on the D: drive for the program and your data. |
| .NET Framework 4.7.2 or newer | A free part of Windows that Speed Plus needs. Most PCs already have it. If not, the setup tells you and you install .NET Framework 4.8 from Microsoft first. |
| Internet, once | The web setup downloads the files. No internet at the shop? Ask your dealer for the offline pack on a pen drive (see 1.2). |
| Administrator permission | Windows asks "Do you want to allow this app to make changes?" during the install. Press Yes. |
| Correct date and time on the PC | A wrong date stops the secure download. Check the clock in the Windows taskbar before you start. |
1.2Two Ways to Install New in 2026
| Way | What it is | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
| Web setup SpeedPlusSetup.exe | One small file. It reads the latest release list from the Speed Plus server, checks that the files are genuine, and downloads only what you tick. | Normal installs, new PCs, every update from now on. |
| Offline pack | A folder your dealer copies to a pen drive. It holds SpeedPlusSetup.exe and all the files. Run the exe from the pen drive; no internet is needed. | Shops with no or slow internet. |
| Older full setup | One large download with four separate install files (see 1.7). | Only if your dealer gives you this kind of setup. |
1.3Downloading the Setup
- Open your web browser (Chrome, Edge) and go to the official Solver Solutions website, or open the download link your dealer sent you.
- Open the Products menu and click Speed Plus 9, then click Download.
- When the browser asks, confirm the download. The file is saved in your Downloads folder.
- Double-click the file to start it.
1.4Installing with SpeedPlusSetup.exe New in 2026
The setup window has four steps down its left side: Folder, Components, Install and Done.
- Where to install? The folder box already shows D:\Speed Plus 9.0 (or C:\Speed Plus 9.0 on a PC with no D: drive). Keep it, or press Browse... to choose another folder. The line below shows how much space the drive has free. Press Next >.
- What to install? The list shows each part with its download size. Speed Plus (required) is always ticked. Keep the other ticks as the setup set them, unless your dealer says otherwise. Create a desktop shortcut is ticked; you may also tick Create a Quick Launch shortcut.
- Check the line Total download and the space needed, then press Install.
- Windows asks for permission. Press Yes.
- Installing: a large percentage and a progress bar move. Do not switch off the PC.
- Ready! "Speed Plus is installed". Press Finish.
1.5Choosing the Install Location: the D: Drive
The setup itself says "D:\Speed Plus 9.0 is the usual choice". Keep it there.
- On the Where to install? page, keep D:\Speed Plus 9.0 in the folder box.
- If you press Browse... and pick a drive, the setup adds the folder name Speed Plus 9.0 for you.
- Press Next > and carry on as in 1.4.
1.6What Gets Installed: the Four Main Parts
Speed Plus has always needed four parts. The web setup lists them as tick boxes and installs them in the right order for you. The old names, from the older full setup, are in the first column.
| Old name | Name in the web setup | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Speed Plus 9 | Speed Plus (required) | The program itself, its print formats, blank databases and fonts. It cannot be unticked. |
| Crystal Report | Crystal Reports support | The engine that prints bills and reports made in Crystal format. |
| Provider | Access database provider | Lets Speed Plus read and write company files. If your PC does not have it, the line says "not found on this PC - needed" and it is ticked for you. |
| Solver Support | Windows support files (VB6 controls, Crystal) | Small Windows files the printing and some screens use. Ticked by default; copied only when missing or older. |
The list may also show optional parts. Tick them only if you use that feature:
| Optional part | Tick it when |
|---|---|
| WhatsApp tools (AutoWa) | You send bills and messages on WhatsApp from Speed Plus (Chapter 19). |
| WhatsApp Blaster | You send bulk WhatsApp messages to many customers. |
| Chrome helper (chromedriver) | Your dealer asks for it. |
| GST returns utility | Your dealer asks for it. |
| Access provider, 64-bit (optional) | Leave it unticked. Speed Plus uses the normal provider above. |
1.7The Older Full Setup (Four Separate Files)
Some dealers still carry the older full setup: one compressed file with the four parts inside. Use it only if that is what you were given.
- Right-click the downloaded file and choose Extract Here (this needs an unzip tool such as WinRAR).
- Open the new folder. You will see four setup files.
- Install them in this order: Crystal Report, then Provider, then Solver Support, then Speed Plus 9 last. Keep pressing Next, then Install.
- When the Speed Plus 9 part asks for a folder, choose the D: drive (see 1.5).
1.8First Launch and the Desktop Icon
After the install you find Speed Plus in three places: the desktop icon Speed Plus 9.0, the Windows Start menu folder Speed Plus 9.0, and Quick Launch if you ticked it.
- Double-click the Speed Plus 9.0 icon on the desktop.
- The start-up screen appears while the program loads (see 1.9).
- Choose your language and press Continue.
- On a new install the Select your company screen is empty. Press Create a New Company and follow Chapter 2.
1.9The Start-up Screen: Language, Edit and New New in 2026
Each time Speed Plus starts, the start-up screen shows what it is loading ("Connecting to database…", "Loading masters…"). Then the Language box appears with a Continue button that counts down from 5. If you do nothing, Speed Plus carries on in the language chosen last time.
- Open the Language box and pick a language. While the list is open the countdown waits.
- Press Continue. Menus and screen labels now show in that language.
Beside the language box are two links:
| Link | What it does |
|---|---|
| Edit | Opens the language pack editor for the chosen language, so you can correct a word. Hidden while English is chosen, because English is the base. |
| New | Opens the editor for a brand-new language pack. |
The editor shows two columns: Already Written as (the English text) and Write in your Language as.
- For a new pack, type the name of the language in Language Title.
- Fill the words you want in the right-hand column. Leave a row empty to keep the English text.
- Press Save. The message says "Language Pack Created Successfully" and Speed Plus closes.
- Open Speed Plus again. Your pack is in the Language list.
1.10The Login Screen New in 2026
After you open a company, the login screen asks who is working. The right side is the login card; the left side shows Speed Plus training videos and the partner who installed your software.
| Part of the screen | What it does |
|---|---|
| Login to Your Account | Type Username and Password. The eye icon shows or hides the password. Press Login. |
| Remember Me | Tick it on your own PC to keep your user name filled in. |
| Forgot Password? | Tells you to ask your admin (a user with full rights) to change the password on the Users screen, and shows your software partner's name. |
| Open Another Company | Goes back to Select your company. |
| Licence chips | Small chips under the card show your licence, AMC and program version. |
| Video panel | A new Speed Plus video each time you open. Use the arrows for Previous video and Next video, or pick one under Watch Next. Needs internet. |
| Installed By | Photo, name and mobile number of your Speed Plus partner, so you know whom to call. |
| Icon tiles | Check for Updates (see Chapter 39), User Manual, the website, WhatsApp channel, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, and the products Farata App, Tablio, Web POS, Web Order and Web Store. |
1.11Where Your Data Lives
The program and your data are two separate things.
The program is the Speed Plus 9.0 folder made by the setup (usually D:\Speed Plus 9.0). Setup, updates and repairs change only program files here.
Your data is in the data folder. By default this is the Data folder inside the Speed Plus folder. Each company is kept in its own folder in there. The setup creates the Data folder and never empties it.
The Select your company screen shows the data folder under Stored at and in the Data folder card. To use another folder, press Set Database Path there (details in 2.4).
All your bills, parties, items and stock are in the company files inside the data folder. That folder is what you back up. Program files can always be installed again from the setup; your company files cannot. Turn on automatic backup (Chapter 23) and keep a copy on another drive or in email.
1.12Repair, Update or Remove Speed Plus New in 2026
| Job | How | What happens to data |
|---|---|---|
| Repair | Run SpeedPlusSetup.exe again and keep the same folder. It checks every program file and downloads only those that are missing or damaged. Your own print formats and blank databases are left as they are. | Not touched. |
| Update | Inside Speed Plus: Help → Check for Updates, or press Update Now on the blue strip that appears when a new version is out. See Chapter 39. | Not touched. A version older than yours is never installed. |
| Remove | Windows Settings → Apps (or Control Panel → Programs), choose Speed Plus 9.0, Uninstall. The box asks Remove Speed Plus?; press Uninstall. | "Your company data and database files will not be removed." |
1.13Setup Messages and What to Do
| The setup says | What to do |
|---|---|
| Speed Plus needs .NET Framework 4.7.2, which is not on this PC. | Install .NET Framework 4.8 from Microsoft, then run the setup again. |
| Administrator permission was not given… | Run the setup again and press Yes when Windows asks. |
| The internet is not working or the server cannot be reached… | Check the internet and run the setup again. Files already downloaded are kept. |
| A secure connection could not be made… | Correct the PC's date and time. On Windows 7, ask your dealer for the TLS 1.2 update. |
| This release could not be verified… | Download the setup again from the official site. Do not use a copy from an unknown source. |
| A file could not be downloaded properly… | Run the setup again. It continues where it stopped. |
| This drive needs at least … MB of free space… | Free some space or choose another drive. |
| A newer version is already installed on this PC… | Nothing is wrong. The setup never puts an older version over a newer one. |
| Some files (…) are still in use… | Close Speed Plus and the print program, or restart the PC, then run the setup again. The old version keeps working meanwhile. |
| Speed Plus is still open and did not close… | Save your work and close Speed Plus yourself, or press Force close. |
| You do not have permission to write to this folder… | Right-click the setup, choose Run as administrator, or pick another folder. |
Questions and answers
Do I need internet to run Speed Plus 9 every day?
No. After installing, billing and accounts work offline. Internet is needed only for online features such as e-Invoice, WhatsApp, Web POS, updates and the login videos.
Which file do I download now, the small one or the big one?
The small web setup, SpeedPlusSetup.exe. Use the older full setup only if your dealer gives it to you (1.7).
Why are there four parts to install?
Speed Plus (the program), Crystal Reports support (printing), Access database provider (reading company files) and Windows support files. The web setup ticks the ones your PC needs (1.6).
Can I install on the C: drive instead of D:?
Yes, but D: is safer. A Windows reinstall usually wipes C:, and by default your data sits inside the Speed Plus folder.
The program will not open or a report will not print after installing. What now?
Run SpeedPlusSetup.exe again with the same folder. It repairs missing or damaged files. With the older setup, install all four files again in order.
The download stopped half way. Do I start from zero?
No. Run the setup again. Files that already arrived are not downloaded again.
Our shop has no internet. Can we still install?
Yes. Ask your dealer for the offline pack on a pen drive and run SpeedPlusSetup.exe from that folder.
Do I need administrator rights?
Yes for a normal install. Windows asks for permission; press Yes. If you press No, the setup stops and tells you to run it again.
Does reinstalling, repairing or updating erase my data?
No. The setup changes only program files. The Data folder and company databases are never removed, even by Uninstall.
How do I get the latest version?
Inside Speed Plus use Help → Check for Updates, or press Update Now on the blue strip (Chapter 39).
Can I install Speed Plus on more than one computer?
Yes. Install it on each PC. For several counters working on the same data, keep the data on one main PC or on SQL Server (Chapter 20).
How do I move Speed Plus to a new computer?
Take a backup on the old PC (Chapter 23), install with SpeedPlusSetup.exe on the new PC, then restore the backup from the Select Company screen (Restore Data).
Can I use the software in Hindi from the first day?
Yes. Pick Hindi in the Language box on the start-up screen and press Continue.
The Edit link is missing beside the language box.
Edit is hidden while English is chosen, because English is the base text. Choose your language first, or press New to start a new language pack.
I saved my language pack and Speed Plus closed. Did it crash?
No. Saving a pack closes the program on purpose. Open it again and pick your pack in the Language box.
I forgot my password. How do I log in?
Ask a user with full rights to set a new password for you on the Users screen (Settings → User Management). Forgot Password? on the login screen says the same and shows your partner's name.
The login screen shows no videos.
The videos come from the internet. Check the connection. Login works without them.
My antivirus stops the setup. What do I do?
Allow SpeedPlusSetup.exe when your antivirus asks, then run it again. Use only the file from the official site or your dealer.
Is a printer needed to install?
No. You need a printer only to print bills. The Crystal Reports support part takes care of printing reports.
What is the first thing to do after installing?
Choose your language, then create your company and its users. That is Chapter 2.
