Notes ( smarttech.com/kb/136910 ).
Using the installation wizards
The installation wizards are included on the SMART Classroom Suite software DVD, or you can
download them from smarttech.com/software . They enable you to install SMART Classroom Suite
software on teacher and student computers using a graphical (rather than command line) interface.
For more information, see the SMART Classroom Suite 2010 software Installation Guide
( smarttech.com/kb/150908 ).
Using the command line interface
You can use the command line interface if you prefer installing software from the command line rather
than from a GUI installation wizard, or if you use Windows Installer in conjunction with a third-party
imaging or remote management software to automate installations across your school’s network. For
more information, see the SMART Classroom Suite software 2010 System Administrator’s
Guide( smarttech.com/kb/150907 ).
Using SMART Install Manager
You can use SMART Install Manager to customize the SMART Classroom Suite software
installation package, and then use Group Policy-based software deployment to automate the
installation of the suite in a networked environment.
SMART Install Manager is included on the SMART Classroom Suite software DVD, or you can
download it from smarttech.com/software . Instructions on how to use SMART Install Manager are in
