Client Software Installation
This section provides installation procedures for Sharpdesk and Network Scanner Tool. Sharpdesk
and Network Scanner Tool are installed together automatically, unless instructed not to. For
additional Sharpdesk installation instructions, refer to Sharpdesk User's Guide; for Network Scanner
Tool, refer to Network Scanner Tool User's Guide.
Sharpdesk Installation
Installing the Sharpdesk software is a simple and straightforward process. When you install
Sharpdesk, Network Scanner Tool are loaded onto your PC together.
By default, the Sharpdesk software program is installed on your default boot drive (usually C:\) in a
folder named Sharpdesk (the full path is C:\Program Files\Sharp\Sharpdesk\), unless you
specify another drive and/or folder during installation. The installation process also changes some of
your system files to allow all the Sharpdesk components to work properly.
You can also specify the location of where to store the files you work on in Sharpdesk. Unless
otherwise specified, the installation program creates a new Sharpdesk Desktop folder and sub-
folders on the default boot drive (usually C:\). If you specify another location for your data files, you
should generally not assign them into the same folder (or sub-folder) as the Sharpdesk software,
since all Sharpdesk folders will be deleted if Sharpdesk software is ever un-installed.
Installing Sharpdesk
Sharpdesk can be installed using the Sharpdesk installation CD. To install from the Sharpdesk CD:
1. If any Windows applications are open, close them to ensure that the software installs
properly.
2. Insert the installation CD into your CD-ROM drive. Follow the on-screen instructions to
complete the installation process. If the screen does not appear (for example, because you
have disabled the Windows AutoRun feature), run the Setup.exe program from the CD.
3. The User Information screen appears first prompting to enter the Name, Company Name
and Serial Number fields. For the Serial Number, enter one of the Sharpdesk License
Numbers, which are printed on the front cover of this manual. Successively the "Software
License Agreement" screen appears. Read the description carefully. To install Sharpdesk,
you must accept this Agreement.
4. Once the installation completes, you might be prompted to restart your computer. If so
instructed, you must restart your computer in order to use the Sharpdesk software.
During installation or when restarting your computer, a folder is created in your Program Files
directory or the location you specified during installation that contains all the Sharpdesk software
files. You will also find a Sharp entry added to your Start/Programs menu containing the Sharpdesk
programs. Finally, a Sharpdesk shortcut is placed on your desktop making access to the software
very convenient.
