What is the process of software installation?

There are countless applications that can be installed in Windows systems, some to be downloaded from the Web, and others to be installed from disk. General application software needs to run Setup to install, of course, the Green program is not installed. And some software has only one running program, the running program is also the installation program, direct operation installation can, such as from the Internet download QQ, FlashGet and so on.

Some installation program is compressed software, for example, for the RAR, zip and other formats, here you need to use decompression software, such as WinRAR, WinZip and other software decompression, then run the installation program installation. Some software needs to be stored in CD-ROM or floppy disk, users need to buy a CD or floppy disk before installation, such as MicrosoftOffice, WPS, such as the software generally have a main installation program, Setup.exe,install.exe, etc., run the program can be installed.

When you run Setup, most software has an installation wizard, which typically requires several steps.

Step 1: First run the installer, most software has a "license Agreement", the user needs to accept or agree to the license agreement to continue installation, if you have to choose whether to agree or accept the license agreement options, you need to choose to agree or accept the option.

Step 2. The installation path needs to be set by the user at the time of installation, typically after accepting the license Agreement, a dialog box will appear setting up the installation path, either by using the default installation path or by changing to another path. We recommend that you do not install any software other than anti-virus software in C disk.

Step 3: Some software needs to enter the serial number, the serial number is usually on the back of the disc box of the installation disc or the accompanying documentation. If the software is downloaded online, generally with a description file, such as Readme.txt, the serial number is saved in the file, according to this serial number input can be installed.

Step 4. Sometimes you need to restart your computer after the software installation is complete, and when you click OK in the Complete Setup dialog box, you should close other running programs and then click Finish to restart your computer.
