• Disable User Account Control for the duration of the install. If you change settings, make sure to reboot the workstation prior to continuing.
• Enable linked connections - make sure to reboot the workstation after applying this setting.
• Ensure any anti-virus programs have been disabled that may be operating on the workstation.
