Overview3
This type of installation allows multiple PCs to act as clients of the 
shared network drive. The Visual Vectors executable and program files 
reside on the network drive. The client computers that share the 
network drive will have a minimal program that allows them to work 
with the Visual Vectors program and data on the shared network drive. 
After doing the network setup, you need to set up clients to access the 
Visual Vectors software over the network. Client setup installs only a 
program group and icons on the client’s PC, and these icons point to the 
Visual Vectors software files which reside on the network drive.
You can do this installation from the network installation folder or from 
a CD-ROM.
