Preparing the Installation
The PackLayering installation resources come along as an MSI file with additional documents, such as the current Release Notes. Usually, these documents are delivered via FTP server as provided by our support which can be contacted via our Support Panel.
Before the application is installed on a device some preparations are needed:
1.Please make sure, to have the order number or license file at hand. Either one will be provided by a Raynet sales representative or our support team which can be contacted via our Support Panel.
2.The target system needs to meet the system requirements described within the Requirements chapter.
3.A Windows user with sufficient rights for installations must be logged in. Administration rights are required for the installation of PackLayering.
4.Close all dispensable applications during the setup routine execution.
