Installing Components from the PC-Client

The PC-Client CD contains several components that are each packaged with their own installer. When you insert the PC-Client CD, a menu program launches automatically. The menu program lists the components that can be installed from the CD and allows you to install them one at a time. Before installing any products, review the readme.txt file, which contains a brief description of each of the products, any product or component dependencies, and last-minute instructions or changes.

The PC-Client CD contains 32-bit and 64-bit SDKs. It installs the 32-bit SDK on 32-bit OS; and the 64-bit SDK on 64-bit OS.
