msiexec /i "C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\OPTIS Labs 20XX for XX bits operating

system.msi" COLOR_TEST=0 /l*v "c:\log.txt"

4. To get the correct OPTIS Labs 20XX for XX bits operating system.msi path , drag the msi file

located on the desktop to the Run box.

5. Click OK.

6. If you have some problems with the installation, send the log.txt file to OPTIS support.

COLOR_TEST="0" avoids the check of video card capabilities (useful in Remote Control mode).

/l*v "c:\log.txt" creates a log file.

/qn displays no user interface.

INSTALLDIR="c:\OPTIS" defines the target directory.
