RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS

several factors. In general, Diskeeper Lite needs only
about 3 MB of disk space, and about 8 MB of free space to allow
for temporary files during the installation.
Additional Software Requirements
--------------------------------
On Windows NT 4.0 computers, Service Pack 3 or higher is
required for Diskeeper Lite to operate properly.
Diskeeper Lite relies the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
The MMC provides a single point of control for system utilities
such as Diskeeper Lite. The MMC is used as a central location
for a variety of Microsoft and third party administrative tools.
If not already present on your computer, the Diskeeper Lite
installation procedure automatically installs the MMC.
Proper operation of Diskeeper Lite requires Internet Explorer
4.0 or higher.
INSTALLATION NOTES
==================
Before you start the Diskeeper Lite installation,
please note:
o Windows NT 4.0 machines must have Service Pack 3 or
higher installed
o On Windows NT 4.0 machines, if you have previously
installed Diskeeper Lite on your computer, Executive
Software recommends that you uninstall it before
proceeding with the installation of this version. Use
the Add/Remove Programs applet in Control Panel to
uninstall Diskeeper Lite.
o On Windows 2000/XP machines, installing Diskeeper Lite
will not remove the built-in defragmenter, but
Diskeeper Lite will automatically become the default
defragmenter.
o To install the Windows NT/2000/XP version of Diskeeper
Lite, you must be logged into an account that is a
member of the Administrators group.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
=====================
Diskeeper Lite is installed by double-clicking the
self-extracting compressed file you downloaded. When you
double-click the file you downloaded, the files are unpacked
into a temporary folder on your hard drive, and the SETUP.EXE
program is automatically started. The SETUP.EXE program:
o Confirms that you have Administrator privileges (on Windows
NT/2000/XP systems).
o Determines which version of Windows you are running.
o Checks for sufficient space on the disk for the installation.
o Detects and notifies you of any previously installed Diskeeper
software.
o Installs the MMC, if necessary.
o Copies the Diskeeper Lite files to the destination
directories, updates the Windows registry, starts the Diskeeper
service, and creates a new Program Group and Desktop Icon for
Diskeeper Lite.
