Installing onto a Standalone Machine

Locate the appropriate installation package for the machine onto which you want to install. Use SnfsOfflineNotifyInstall32.zip for 32-bit machines and SnfsOfflineNotifyInstall64.zip for 64-bit machines.

Move the appropriate installation package to the destination machine and unzip it. You will find two files: SnfsOfflineSetup.exe and SnfsOfflineSetup.msi. Use the following steps to install:

  1. Log onto the machine as a Local or Domain Administrator. In Windows Explorer start the install by double clicking on SnfsOfflineSetup.exe. On Windows XP platforms and higher Windows versions, an alternate method to start the installation is to right-click on SnfsOfflineSetup.exe and select "Run as ..." as shown in Figure 1. If you select this option, you must log in with the credentials for the Administrator account as shown in Figure 2.
