Overview3
This chapter explains how to install the CentreVu® Supervisor application 
software for use in a shared application folder configuration on the network 
drive. With this type of installation, the Supervisor executable files reside on 
the application server and are shared by multiple computers.
You must have administrator privileges to install Supervisor on a PC running 
Windows NT
* 4.0.
You must first do a network setup to install Supervisor onto the network. Then, 
from each client workstation, you do a client setup to allow users to access 
Supervisor from their workstations.

Installation Procedures3
Installing CentreVu Supervisor to a shared application folder is a two-step 
process that consists of the following:
lPerforming the network setup
lPerforming a client setup at each client PC.
The network setup expands all program files and all language options into the 
network directory. In addition, this setup transfers a client setup program and its 
associated files to the network directory. You can do this setup from either the 
network installation folder or from a CD-ROM.
The client setup program allows clients to access Supervisor from the network 
server. Client setup creates a folder on the client PC. The icons in the folder 
point to the executable files on the application server. In addition, client setup 
allows you to identify where you want to put the user-specific files (these files 
can be located on the client’s local drive or on the network).
NOTE:
For installation requirements, see “Other Requirements” on page 1-11.
Network Setup3
To perform a network setup, you must have administrative privileges on a 
workstation that is running Windows. Then do the following:
1. Log on to the PC as a user with administrative privileges.
2. Before starting the installation, close all running programs on the PC.
3. Create a folder on the network drive to hold the Supervisor application 
files, and make it read-only and shared.
4. Verify that the network drive containing the application folder is connected 
to each client PC.
5. On the Supervisor distribution medium (CD-ROM or installation folder), 
locate and double-click on the Readme.txt

Client Setup3
The client setup program sets up the client computer to access CentreVu 
Supervisor from the network server. Supervisor setup installs the application 
files on the network, while client setup installs on the client PC only the user-
specific files needed to run Supervisor.

You must run client setup from the physical PC that the client will use to access 
Supervisor. If you simply log into the network as each user and then run client 
setup, the program will not install properly.

2. In Windows Explorer or Network Neighborhood (Windows 95 or 98 or 
Windows NT 4.0), navigate to the directory where CentreVu Supervisor is
