Installing the Windows Client Agent

This section describes how to install the Client Agent for Windows.


Note that the number of Client Agents that you can use at the same time is dictated by the number of client connection licenses that you purchase. See
``Licensing SCO ARCserve/Open products and options'' in the SCO ARCserve/Open Release and Installation Notes for information on how to add your client connection licenses.

A floppy diskette containing the Client Agent for Windows is provided with the SCO ARCserve/Open from Cheyenne product.


NOTE: If necessary, you can also create an installation diskette by copying the winagent.dd file from the image directory on the SCO CD-ROM disk to a floppy disk. See ``Creating a Windows Client Agent installation diskette'' for information on how to do this.

To install the Windows Client Agent:

  1. On the desired Windows workstation, open the File Manager.

  2. Insert the Client Agent diskette into a local floppy drive and select Run from the File menu.

  3. Enter:

    a:\setup

    If the Client Agent diskette is in another drive, use that drive's letter instead.

    For example, b:\setup.

  4. As the software is loaded, you are prompted to select a destination directory for the Client Agent for Windows.

    For example, c:\windows.

    When the installation is completed, a Program Group and icon are automatically created for you.

You must add the destination directory path (the one you specified during the installation) to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The setup program does not automatically do this for you.
