  2. Exit any Windows programs running on your machine.

  3. Place the Network Client CD in the CD drive.

  4. Select Start > Run.

    Use Browse to select your CD drive letter, and, in the File Name box, type:

    setup.exe
    
  5. Read the Welcome window and click Next.

  8. Type your name and your company name in the text boxes on the Customer Information screen and click Next.

  9. Choose Complete or Custom install. The Complete install is recommended for most users. The Custom install lets you select components of products to install.

  10. Products are installed in separate folders under the folder you specify. You can accept the default, or use the Browse button to select another folder.

    Click Next.

  11. For a Complete install, skip to step 13.

    For a Custom install, choose products to install. The Products Selection screen shows names, descriptions and space requirements of products. Required products are automatically selected. Click any checked product to deselect it. Required products vary depending on selections. Products are:

  12. Click Next when satisfied with selected products.

  13. Before copying the program files, the setup procedure lists the products selected and the target directories where they will be installed. Click Back to make changes or Next to install.
