This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for installing the SMS application as:

and you run the SMS application using a Vista
you may be prompted via screens for permission or credentials (such as a valid local
administrator password) to run any SMS function/feature after it is installed. Vista
UAC is designed to prevent unauthorized access of your computer by users or
malicious software programs, with changes in the Vista
restrict standard user accounts or administrator accounts, without permission or
authorization, from performing certain activities or running applications.
If this is the case, respond to the UAC screen prompt by allowing the SMS application

If you encounter prompting for permission to run the SMS application each time after
it is installed, it may be advisable to disable Vista
