Installing the Practice Files

You need to install the practice files in the correct location on your hard disk before you can use them in the exercises. Follow these steps:

1. Remove the companion CD from the envelope at the back of the book, and insert it into the CD drive of your computer.

The Step By Step Companion CD License Terms appear. Follow the on-screen directions. To use the practice files, you must accept the terms of the license agreement. After you accept the license agreement, a menu screen appears.

Important  

If the menu screen does not appear, click the Start button and then click Computer. Display the Folders list in the Navigation Pane, click the icon for your CD drive, and then in the right pane, double-click the StartCD executable file.

2. Click Install Practice Files.

3. Click Next on the first screen, and then click Next to accept the terms of the license agreement on the next screen.

4. If you want to install the practice files to a location other than the default folder (Documents\Microsoft Press\SBS_WSSv3), click the Change button, select the new drive and path, and then click OK.

Important  

If you install the practice files to a location other than the default, you will need to substitute that path within the exercises.

5. Click Next on the Choose Destination Location screen, and then click Install on the Ready to Install the Program screen to install the selected practice files.

6. After the practice files have been installed, click Finish.

7. Close the Step by Step Companion CD window, remove the companion CD from the CD drive, and return it to the envelope at the back of the book.
