Installing PhotoDraw with Office

How to Run PhotoDraw Setup on Client Computers

After you create the administrative installation point, users can connect to that location, run client Setup, and install Microsoft PhotoDraw. The following procedures describe an interactive client Setup, which means the user selects options presented by Setup. Client Setup can also be run in batch mode, in which Setup options are determined by the client Setup script.

To start PhotoDraw Setup on a client computer

1. Connect to the administrative installation point, and then open the folder containing the main PhotoDraw program files.
2. Double-click Setup.exe.
3. Enter a user name.

   Setup automatically enters the organization name from the administrative installation point.

4. Enter a name for the destination folder for the main PhotoDraw program files.

   This folder can be on your hard disk, or it can be a network drive to which you have read, write, and delete permissions.

After you specify a location for the PhotoDraw folder, Setup might prompt you for a destination location for shared applications (depending on the selections made during administrative Setup).

To select a location for shared applications

• To run shared applications over the network, click Server. Setup configures your system to point to the server share.

  To install shared applications on your hard disk, click Local Hard Drive, and then enter a folder name. Setup copies shared program files to that folder.

Next, Setup prompts you for the installation to use.

To select the type of installation

• To install a predefined set of the commonly used PhotoDraw components, click Typical.

  – or –

  To select from a list of all the available PhotoDraw features and components, click Custom.

After you select the installation options you want, Setup checks for available disk space and begins copying files to the client computer.
