Windows NT installation procedures

To install Watcher and the Network Adapter Manager:

1.If the installation CD is not already in your CD-ROM drive, insert it. The CD should autostart and display a menu.

If the CD does not autostart, select Start > Run and enter d:\launch.exe where d is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive.

2.From the CD startup window, select notebook installation and documentation and then notebook software installation to launch the InstallShield® Wizard.

3.If the Open With... window appears, cancel the installation (your computer is missing some files required for the installation). Search for Instmsiw.exe among the downloads at www.microsoft.com. Install the file on your computer, then rerun theAirCard 555 software installation.

4.If the Ikernel Application Error window appears:

a)Cancel the installation.

b)Download the file:

http://support.installshield.com/kb/files/Q108312/ ikernelupdate.exe.

c) Install the file on your computer, then rerun the software installation.

5.Use the Next and Back buttons to navigate through the wizard noting the following:

· You must click Yes to indicate your acceptance of the terms of the license agreement to proceed with the installation.

· Use the default settings for the Destination Location and Program Folder unless you have special requirements and an advanced understanding of PC configuration. (The Destination Location dictates where the software is installed. The Program Folder dictates the name assigned to the software in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.)

· A check box allows you to choose to have a desktop shortcut for Watcher. This gives you the option of launching Watcher by double clicking an icon on your desktop (as well as from the Start menu).

· Click Finish to close the last screen of the wizard.
