Instructions for "Installation - Without Administrator Privileges"

LAST MODIFIED DATE: March 01, 2004

VERSION: This applies to NFS Maestro version 9.0

PROBLEM:

Where is the section "Installation - Without Administrator Privileges" within the pdf file and the printed manual for NFS Maestro Client V9.0 and HostExplorer V9.0?

  1. From the Exceed, HostExplorer and NFS Maestro Client CD, double-click on msetup.exe and select the 'How to Install' install option.
  2. Click twice on 'Typical Installation Scenarios' on the right pane.
  3. Select 'Personal Installations Based on Administrative Privileges'
  4. There you will see the 'Installation - Without Administrator Privileges' section.

Where is this section in the manuals and the .pdf file of both NFS Maestro Client and HostExplorer?

Solution:

Unforutnately, the .pdf files for NFS Maestro Client and HostExplorer does not have this section within it. It was mistakenly ommitted.

Currently, only the Exceed 9.0 manual has this section in its .pdf file and the printed manual. Here are the instructions as they appears in the manual:

Installation - Without Administrator Privileges

Tip: This type of installation applies to all Windows platforms, but not Windows NT 4.0 Server—Terminal Server Edition, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, or Windows Server 2003 with Terminal Services enabled.

This scenario assumes:

  • You are logged in to the PC as a user, not as Administrator.
  • You do not have administrative privileges.
  • You are installing the product for one user (the current user) on one PC the product CD is available locally or on the network.
NOTE: Some product features are not available for installation if you do not have administrative privileges.

To launch a personal installation without Administrator privileges:

  1. Launch Setup Wizard in installation mode by one of the following methods:
    - from the command line, run setup.exe from the product CD or from a server image.
    - run Msetup.exe from the product CD.
  2. If you are prompted, select a language for the installation. English is the default.
    Tip: If setup.exe is run from a server image, you are not prompted to select an installation language. This is already selected during the copied image or shared image installation.
  3. Dialog boxes provide information and prompt for input.
  4. In the Setup Type dialog box, select either Typical, Custom, or Complete.
