Install and configure Application Software

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, STUDENT(S) MUST be
able to:
 Know how to install application software.

INTRODUCTION
Software is a program that runs on a computer and helps us do
specific tasks. It can be made by individuals or companies and can
be either free or sold. Some software is for everyone, while other
software is made specifically for certain groups or businesses.
Even popular programs like Microsoft Office can be changed to fit
the needs of a particular organization.

Here are the general steps to follow when installing software:

1. Check if your computer meets the hardware requirements

for the software.
2. Make sure the software is compatible with your operating
system.
3. Check if any additional software or updates are needed for
the installation.
4. Close any unnecessary programs, and consider disabling
antivirus temporarily if required.
5. Install the software from either an installation disc or by
downloading it from the internet.
6. If using a disc, open the CD/DVD drive and run the setup
file. If downloading, save the file and run it.
7. Follow the instructions in the setup wizard to complete the
installation. It's usually best to stick with the default options
if you're not familiar with them.

Remember to always ensure that you're installing software from a
legitimate and trusted source.

Different software has different system requirements and installation

procedures. However, if you read the instructions you never fail to install
it. Always check the system requirements of every software you wanted
to install to prevent incompatibility issues.

Basic software troubleshooting
Unable to install a software program
1. Verify the network/external devices or CD are readable by
reading the files on the drive. For
example, Microsoft Windows users can explore the drive
in Windows explorer. If the CD attempts to AutoPlay, you
may need to right-click the drive and click Explore to browse
the drive.

2. If the CD reads fine with no errors, verify your computer

meets the minimum requirements of the software program. If
your computer does not have enough disk drive space or
does not meet the requirements, the program will not install.

3. Make sure the program or utility you are installing is

compatible with the version of operating system you have on
your computer. For example, many older utilities such as a
virus protection program may only work with a specific
version of Microsoft Windows.

4. If you are getting stopped at the CD-KEY or Serial Number

verification, verify you are entering your correct number. If
you lost your number or key or it does not work, you need to
contact the developer of the program.

Error during installation

1. Verify your computer meets the requirements of the program
or utility. For example, if your computer runs out of disk
space during the installation, this would cause an error
during the installation.

2. If you are running Microsoft Windows 95 or higher try

installing the program from Safe Mode.

3. Verify the CD is clean and contains no significant scratches.

Program or utility does not load or has an error when it

attempts to load

 1. Verify the program or utility documentation makes no
mention of the error you are experiencing. Many times the
error and explanation to how to resolve the error are already
documented.

2. Verify no patches or updates are available from the developer

of the program or utility. In some cases the software program
may require an update before it can be successfully run on
your computer.

3. Make sure all other programs are closed when you run the
program or utility. If the program successfully runs after
closing all other programs, it's possible that the program
may have issues with other programs.

4. Make sure the computer has been rebooted at least once

after the program has been installed. In some cases it may
be required.

5. Verify your computer has the correct date. In some cases a

program may rely on the date and if that date is incorrectly
set it may cause issues.

6. If following the above recommendations does not resolve

your issues, reinstall the program or utility.

In some cases your software issue may be related to your

operating system.

Problems in Windows after installing new software

Reinstall or uninstall the program
If you are encountering problems with your computer or other
programs after installing new software on your computer, uninstall
the program and see if the issues persist.

Note: If after installing a program you're unable to boot into

Windows, try booting into Safe Mode.

After the program has been uninstalled try installing the program
again.

Check for software program updates or new versions

If you continue to experience issues verify that the program, game,
or utility you are installing doesn't have any updates by visiting
the developer of the program website.
If you're installing a software program or drivers for
a hardware device such as a printer. Get the latest software and
drivers from the manufacturer instead of using the included
software.
