Administrative Installation

Autorun launches the Hummingbird Master Setup application when you insert the CD into your drive. If Master Setup does not launch automatically, run Msetup.exe from the root directory of the CD.

Administrative installations let you create a centralized image of the product. This means that many users can install the product without the original CD media. There are two types of administrative installations:

Copy Image      This installation creates a language-specific image at a network location, but in all other respects, this image is the same as the contents of the original CD. Running Setup.exe from a Copy Image is the same as a personal installation.

Shared Image      This installation creates a language-specific image for running applications from the network. When an application is marked "Run from Network", only the user and system files are installed to the local computer. All other files remain on the Shared Image server. Running Setup.exe from a Shared Image is called a workstation installation. This is similar to a personal installation, except advertisement is not available and features are set to run from the network.

All Hummingbird products support Administrative-Copy Image installation. Administrative-Shared Image installation is available for the following products:

• Exceed
• Exceed 3D
• Exceed XDK
• Exceed PowerSuite
• HostExplorer
• NFS Maestro Client
• NFS Maestro Solo

  Note: An administrative installation only copies files. The product is not installed to the network location (server), nor does it make changes to the server. Only the network location folder is modified.

To run Setup Wizard in Administrative mode:

1. Run Msetup from the product CD. In the Hummingbird Master Setup application window, you can select options to install third party add-ons, register online, or view release notes. Otherwise, to run Setup Wizard, click Install Product, then click Administrative Installation.

Alternatively, from the product directory on the CD, run setup /a:

2. Select a setup language and click OK. This language will apply to all installations from the copied image or shared image.
3. Your Hummingbird product prepares Setup Wizard, checks the operating system, and checks the current Windows Installer version.
   • If necessary, the version is updated and the Setup Wizard continues.
   • If Windows Installer is not present on your operating system, Setup Wizard installs the service. Click Restart System to continue installing the product.

   Setup Wizard reboots the computer. This is necessary only the first time Windows Installer is configured and installed on your Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 operating system.

4. After configuring Windows Installer and preparing to install, Setup Wizard proceeds to the Welcome dialog box. Click Next.

   Note: To quit the installation, click Cancel in any Setup Wizard dialog box. Your computer is not affected if you do this before the Setup Wizard copies files. To review or change settings in a previous dialog, click Back.

5. The Network Location dialog box opens. Accept the default installation folder for the product or click Change to open a dialog box for browsing to an alternate network location. Click Next.
6. Click Next. The Ready to Install Network Image dialog box opens.
7. Click Install. Installation of the network image proceeds to completion.
