One of the daily tasks of any user is installing programs. Despite their huge variety and some differences in installation, the overall process and the main points are the same. Let's take a look at the installation process using Winamp, one of the most popular music file players, as an example.
Stage One - Download the File
To start installing the program, you need to "get" executable file, that is, containing a program that may be executed by computer. Normally executable files have .exe.In most cases, the first launch of such a file opens the installation program, and not the program itself immediately, but it also happens that installation is not required.
In our case, we download the Winampa executable from one of the first links received in the search engine for “winamp”. It is usually easy to distinguish the program itself from its installer by the icon of the.exe file. In the first case, the icon contains only the logo, and in the second case, this logo is on the box or other similar element. Compare the two icons, which one portends the installation?
Stage Two - Launch and Installation
Installing programs for the user is a series of dialog boxes, that is, those that require the user to participate: agree with something or disagree, select the necessary installation items, etc. Many, without reading, always click Next, and then they are surprised that they have third-party programs on their computer, often malicious ones.
Do not make common mistakes - watch the installation process, do not click thoughtlessly “ok” and “next”
1. Often programs need access to important system folders of the computer, which by default are not provided to them. For correct installation, this must be done manually - run them as administrator. There is nothing complicated about it - just right-click on the executable file and select the corresponding item in the list, it will be marked with an icon with a shield
2. After that, a dialog box pops up asking if this program can be changed, in other words, are you sure you want to install it? Click "Yes" if you have not changed your mind
2.a The following dialog box does not appear in all programs and not always at this stage: language selection
Having chosen the language you need from the drop-down box, click “ok” - this confirms your agreement.
3. After agreeing to make changes, the welcome window of the installed program opens. It describes what kind of program or recent innovations it is. In our example, the window looks like this:
4. Accept the license agreement. Let's not be naive - almost no one reads this item, everyone accepts the terms and conditions, possibly selling their souls to the devil! But if the conditions are not accepted, the program will not be installed, so the choice is small.
The “accept” button or the like is not always active immediately as above, sometimes you need to check or drag the slider from the right down, simulating an attentive reading.
5. Choosing an installation location. A standard item in any installation program. By default, the installation goes to the program folder, which is located on your system drive (on where the operating system is installed). However, it is not always convenient to install it there (for example, there is not enough space)
By clicking the "Browse" button, you can select any other computer folder. After selecting the folder, the installation itself occurs, that is, all files are unpacked and everything is prepared for further work.
6. Create shortcuts. You are prompted to create shortcuts for quick start programs: in the start menu, on the taskbar or on the desktop. Choose the items that are convenient for you
7. Select file types. A special point that is typical for software programs is the choice of playable file types. If you do not know what you need specifically, leave the default values.
8. The installation completion window. All! The program is installed. Some require a computer restart in order for all changes to take effect, but usually you can use it right away
Carefully follow the installation points!
Under the recommended installation, unwanted programs are often slipped. Here is a great example, installing the AudioMaster program (for recording sound) and with it palm off Yandex.Bar (a strip of tools in the browser changes start page and Yandex search is set by default), moreover, imperceptibly, making the name of the installed one gray.
You have to manually not only change the type of installation, but also uncheck all the flags of the proposed components
There is nothing complicated in installing programs, the main thing is to be careful and follow the various unpleasant tricks of developers and advertisers who want to slip their product quietly.
Varez. Varesey are sites with hacked pirated software from which you can download programs for free. Try to avoid downloading from such sites, as you can never be sure that along with the program you will not get a “gift” in the form of a virus, trojan, etc. Also avoid sites offering anything to download “Free at high speed”, this is usually scammers write. The same goes for tray discs in the markets.
3 step
Installation. Type in search engine name of the program you need, find the official site in the list and download the program. Always scan the program with antivirus before installation, because the developer's site cannot be insured against hacking. Always click on the “Save” button, and not on the “Launch” (see picture). You can run the installation program only from the folder in which it is saved. I will not describe the installation process, because this operation is simple and slightly different for each program.
Batch download programs- this is something that until recently only select advanced users knew. Previously, it was possible to download software from different developers using English-language services, known mainly to system administrators and geeks. Now we have InstallPack, a Russian-language application for batch downloading programs designed for users of any level.
Questions:
How to install several programs at a time?
How to install all the necessary programs on several computers at once?
Advise software to install free programs
Other InstallPack Questions
Step 1
Download the InstallPack application. You can do this from our website or from the official site: https://installpack.net/.
Step 2
We launch the application and get acquainted with the interface. In the main window - a list of programs available for download. They can be sorted alphabetically by clicking on the “Name” tab, or by category - by clicking on the “Category” tab, respectively. The latter option will certainly help when you know what the program is for, but don’t remember what it is called. Opposite each of the applications, you can also see its rating, price, size and a brief description.
Step 3
We’ll review ready-made program sets by going to the dropdown, where “TOP-100” is selected by default. It is worth paying attention to the "Must have" package - it will be especially useful after reinstalling windows. In the Patriot package you will find software from Russian developers. As for the rest, their names speak for themselves.
Step 4
For convenience and time saving we will use search barlocated in the upper left corner of the interface. It is enough to start typing the first letters of the program, and you will immediately see it at the very top of the list. For example, if you set out to find opera browser, type latin "op" on the keyboard - this will be enough.
Step 5
The programs we need are ticked. You can also put a tick in front of the “Silent installation” inscription - this way we will save ourselves from notifications, which, as a rule, come from the installation wizard during installation. Programs will begin to be installed in order to minimize the impact on the processor load.
Step 6
Finally, close InstallPack and make sure that the application shortcut is saved on the desktop. Just in case, we recommend saving InstallPack to a USB flash drive as well - since the application runs without installation, it can also be used as a portable version. We will be able to quickly and conveniently install several programs at once in various situations, whether reinstalling the system, buying a new computer, or working on a new project.
Instruction manual
If the computer where you want to install the program is included in local network, then you can use the disk reader of another computer on this network. To do this, you must first open access to the CD / DVD drive for network users on the computer where it is installed. Then, if you are using Windows, then right-click the “My Computer” icon on the desktop of the computer without an optical drive and select “Map a Network Drive” from the pop-up menu. The connection wizard will start, in which, using the dialog that opens by clicking the "Browse" button, you need to specify the desired device on the network. If the installation disk is already placed in the device, then after the wizard finishes, the menu program recorded on it will immediately start with a set of options for further actions, including installing the program.
Use the file containing the “image” of the installation disk if there is no access to the disk reader over the network either. It is similar to a regular archive, but it contains not only copies of files, but also an exact copy of the structure of their placement on the source disk. This allows using a special emulator program to use the file in the same way as a regular optical disk. If you do not have a finished file with a disk image containing desired programthen you have to create it yourself.
Install on your computer an application that can create images and restore them from files (“mount”). For example, it may be Daemon Tools Lite - a free version of the program that can be downloaded from the manufacturer’s website (http://daemon-tools.cc/eng/products/dtLite). You need to install it on the computer on which the disk image will be created, and on the one where you want to install the program without using the disk. After installing the application, selecting the “DAEMON Tools panel” item in its menu, open the control panel and click on the “Create Image” button. Following the instructions of the program, create an image of an optical disk in any convenient way (via a flash drive, mobile phone, mp3 player, Internet, etc.) copy it to the computer where you need to do without the installation disk.
Right-click the Daemon Tools icon in the notification area of \u200b\u200bthe taskbar of the second computer, go to the Virtual CD / DVD-ROM section of the pop-up menu and select the "Mount image" line in the "Drive 0" subsection. The emulator will open a window in which you need to specify a file with a disk image and click the "Open" button. After that, you can use the virtual installation disk of the program in the same way as a regular optical disk.
For ease of use, program distributions, as a rule, are assembled into one installation, it is also installation filethat deploys when the program starts on the user's computer. Today, the creation of installation packages is automated and not difficult.
