Installing the Cartographer Agent Using the Windows Graphical Installer Program

Clicking on the Release.exe file brings up the first dialog.

If you wish to continue, select Next. That brings up the license dialog. You must agree with the software license in order to continue. This installer, however, does not force you to scroll through the license text. The license agreement can be found here and here.

Next, choose the location to install the Cartographer agent distribution. The default is displayed. We highly advise that you not change the default.

After selecting the location, the installer unpacks its files and places them in the install directory. If it too quickly scrolls through the list, then congratulations -- you have a fast computer!

The installer then asks if you would like to create the service entry in the Windows Service Control Manager. Select Yes if you want the Cartographer agent to automatically start at system boot time.

The installer then asks if you would like to create the shortcut to the Cartographer system tray application. Creating the shortcut will allow it to start each time the system boots and users log on.

Next, the installer asks if you would like to start the Cartographer agent now. Select Yes, the default. Why else would you be installing the software?

The installer then asks if you'd like to start the Cartographer system trap application. Select Yes, the default, if you'd like yet another icon (though less annoying than the average bear) in your system tray. Note the image artifact from the screen capture utility the GIMP.

Finally, the installer is finished and wants to let you know what a great job it did automating the install process and reducing IQ required, to be a systems administrator, to that of a monkey.
