Meteor 4.0.1 Installation

Some virus-protection programs (GateKeeper, SAM, Virex, etc.) may warn you about some of the opera-tions performed by the installer. This is normal. You should always give the installer permission to perform the requested operation. You may find it easier to disable any virus-protection programs before running the installer.

Use the DRIVE button to select the disk where you would like to install Meteor. Click the INSTALL button to begin the installation. The installer will create a folder named “Meteor 4.0.1” to hold all the files installed.
