Information
If you wish to install, configure and run XProtect Basis+ on a
Windows Vista
computer it is important that you have
administrator rights. If you only have standard user rights, you
will not be able to configure the software. The restrictions are a
part of the User Account Control which is a new security
component in Windows Vista. Note, however, that it is possible
to disable the User Account Control. For more information,
search www.microsoft.com for Vista User Account Control or
similar.
Installing the Software
Before installation, shut down any existing Milestone software.
Do not install XProtect Basis+ on a mounted drive (i.e. a drive
attached to an empty folder on an NTFS (NT File System)
volume, with a label or name instead of a drive letter). If using
mounted drives, critical system features may not work as
intended; for example, you will not receive any warnings if the
system runs out of disk space.
1. Insert the XProtect Basis+ software DVD; wait for a
short while, select required language, then click the
Milestone XProtect Basis+ installation link.
Alternatively, if you are installing a version downloaded
from the internet, run the downloaded installation file
from the location you have saved it to.
