Installation Procedure

Installing the Sharpdesk software is simple and straightforward. When you install Sharpdesk, the
entire suite of Sharpdesk applications, including Sharpdesk, Composer, and Imaging, is loaded
into your PC.

Software Location

By default, the Sharpdesk software is installed on your default boot drive (usually C:\) in a
folder named Sharpdesk (the full path is C:\Program Files\Sharp\Sharpdesk\),
unless you specify another drive and/or folder during installation. The installation process also
changes some of your system files to allow all the Sharpdesk components to work properly.

User File Location

You can also specify the location of where to store the documents and images you work on in
Sharpdesk. Unless otherwise specified, the installation program creates a new Sharpdesk
Desktop folder and subfolders on the default boot drive (usually C:\). If you specify another
location for your data files, you should not assign them into the same folder (or sub-folder) as the
Sharpdesk software, since all Sharpdesk software folders will be deleted if Sharpdesk is ever
uninstalled.
