## Installing

Before installing the SoftRemoteLT software, read the Release Notes for technical issues concerning this release. If you encounter any problems during the installation, check the Release Notes for the solution.

1. If you're installing this product on Windows NT or Windows 2000, log on as administrator or its equivalent.

2. Run the setup.exe file that's on the installation CD-ROM or in the installation package.

3. Work through the installation wizard:

   Note: The SafeNet VPN Adapter, which supports L2TP, is installed only when these network components are already installed on your computer:

   Operating system | Component
   Windows 95 | Dial-Up Networking with the Microsoft Dial-Up Networking 1.3 Upgrade
   Windows 98 and Me | Dial-Up Networking
   Windows NT | Remote Access Server (RAS)

   Because Windows 2000 and Windows XP use the native Windows L2TP adapter, the SafeNet L2TP adapter isn't installed on computers running these operating systems.

4. When the installation completes, click Finish. Make sure that your computer restarts.
