Installation via CD or DVD
Installing software from a disc is user friendly and easy. Here is what you do:
- Insert the disc into your computer.
- Follow the onscreen instructions.
- Most programs will automatically try to start and begin the installation wizard. If this program automatically tries to install, you will be presented an AutoPlay dialog box that asks whether you want to run the installation wizard.
- Some programs do not automatically run an installation wizard. In this case, check to see whether the disc comes with instructions or any information for installation. If the installation disc does not come with any instructions, open the disc to view its files. Try to find an install.exe or setup.exe (executable) file, and open that file. This should start the installation wizard and install the rest of the components.
- The User Account Control dialog box appears, prompting for administrator confirmation that this install is allowed.
- Enter a password, if prompted, and select Yes to the confirmation, and the software installation will begin.
