•
will automatically appear after a few seconds with installation options. If the Windows
"AutoPlay" dialog appears (as seen below), select "Run CD_Install.exe". If neither appears, go to
"My Computer," open the CD drive's icon, and start the "Setup" application.
At the initial setup screen, click the "Download Latest Software" button. This will launch a
•
browser window at the NComputing Software Download Center. Locate the correct software
based on product model and operating system, and download the corresponding "zip" folder.

After downloading and extracting the installer files, or alternately locating them on the product
•
CD, run the vSpace Server Installer by launching *.MSI installer for a first time installation. If you
are updating an existing vSpace Server installation, refer to the Release Notes for specific install
instructions.
Installation on Windows 7 or Windows 8
You must have administrative rights to install vSpace Server 8 onto Windows 7 or Windows 8. However,
unlike in Windows Server 2008 R2, the actual "Administrator" account is not enabled by default in
Windows 7 and 8. So, even though you may be logged-in as a user that is a member of the
Administrators group, you still won't have sufficient "administrative rights" to install vSpace Server 8,
and the MSI installer will generate an error message saying: "You need administrative rights to install
this software. Installation Failed."
To check what user account is the right one for vSpace Server installation open the Command Prompt
and invoke following command:
Ø wmic useraccount get name,sid,status
