The installation package includes the following components:

• GoToAssist Customer desktop application

  This is the main software that customers use to join support sessions. Learn more.

• GoTo Opener application

  This "helper" application downloads as the GoToAssist Opener.exe (Windows) or GoTo Opener.dmg (Mac), then installs as the GoTo Opener application. This application is required to install and launch the GoToAssist Customer desktop application. It must be installed on the computer, even if the Customer desktop application is already installed.

  Note: If you remove the GoTo Opener application at a later time, you'll need to go through the entire download process again. We don"t recommend that customers do this if they frequently join support sessions, as they will lose the benefit of faster join times.

1. • If the GoTo Opener application is not installed (either first time joining or it was previously removed), then the GoToAssist Opener.exe or GoTo Opener.dmg file will automatically start downloading. Continue to Step #2.
   • If the GoTo Opener application is already installed, then the web browser will automatically start the GoTo Opener app, which will then launch the GoToAssist Customer application (or install it again, if needed). You can skip Step #2 and continue to Step #3.
