Install Using Product Explorer

The CA ControlMinder Product Explorer lets you select between different architecture installations of CA ControlMinder and install the Runtime SDK. The Product Explorer uses a graphical interface to install CA Access Control and provides interactive feedback.

To install using Product Explorer

1. Log into the Windows system as a user with Windows administrative privileges (that is, as the Windows administrator or a member of the Windows Administrators group.)
2. Close any applications that are running on your Windows system.
3. Insert the CA ControlMinder Endpoint Components for Windows DVD into your optical disc drive.

   If you have autorun enabled, the Product Explorer automatically appears. Otherwise, navigate to the optical disc drive directory and double-click the PRODUCTEXPLORERX86.EXE file.

4. From the Product Explorer main menu, expand the Components folder, select CA ControlMinder for Windows (my_architecture), then click Install.

   You need to select the installation option that matches the architecture of the computer you are installing on (32-bit, 64-bit x64, or 64-bit Itanium).

   The Choose Setup Language window appears.

5. Select the language you want to install CA ControlMinder with and click OK.

   The CA ControlMinder installation program starts loading and, after a short while, the Introduction screen appears.

   Note: If the installation program detects an existing installation of CA ControlMinder, you are prompted to select whether you want to upgrade CA ControlMinder.

6. Follow the instructions on the installation screens.

   During the installation, the installation program prompts you to supply information. For the information that you need when installing CA ControlMinder, refer to the installation worksheets.

   The installation program installs CA ControlMinder. When the installation is complete, you are given the choice of restarting Windows now or later.

7. Select Yes, I want to restart my computer now, and then click OK.

   After your system reboots, you can check that CA ControlMinder was installed properly.

   Note: If you choose to restart your computer later, an additional warning cautions you that the installation is not complete until your computer is rebooted. Some CA ControlMinder functionality, such as logon interception, does not work until after you restart your computer.
