The Installation Three Best Practice Steps

• Log on using a Local Administrator user account,
  preferably the account used to originally install
  the operating system.
• Stop all nonessential services, particularly
  monitoring services such as antivirus programs.
• Clear the System Temporary folder.

11
Log On as Local Administrator

• Identify original Local Administrator account
  using Computer Management
• Right-click My Computer. (On a computer running
  Windows NT 4.0, use the User Manager instead of
  these steps. Domain controllers do not have
  access to Local Users and Groups.)
• Click Manage.
• Expand Local Users and Groups.
• Click Users.
• In the details pane, locate the Administrator
  account.
• The description is Built-in account for
  administering this computer/domain.
• If necessary, change the password with a
  right-click.

12
Stop All Nonessential Services and Programs
Windows XP

• Click Start, click Run, type msconfig, and then
  click OK.
• On the General tab, change Normal Startup - load
  all device drivers and services to Diagnostic
  Startup - load basic devices and services only.
• On the Services tab, turn on Windows Installer.
• Click Apply, and then click Close.
• Restart when you are prompted to do so. When
  the installation is completed, you can return
  Msconfig to the default settings by selecting
  Normal Startup - load all device drivers and
  services on the General tab.

13
Stop All Nonessential Services and Programs
Windows 2000

• The Msconfig from Windows XP will work equally
  well on Windows 2000 however, if it is not
  available, then
• Click Start, point to Settings, click Control
  Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and
  then double-click Services.
• Stop all non-Microsoft services, including
  services for antivirus programs and other
  monitoring programs.

14
Stop All Nonessential Services and Programs
Windows NT 4.0

• Click Start, point to Programs, click
  Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
• Stop all non-Microsoft services, including
  services for antivirus programs and other
  monitoring programs.

  Options, click the View tab, and then select
  Show hidden files and folders.

16

MSDN Documentation

• The location of the MSDN documentation cannot be
  changed if it is already installed.
• This might sound redundant, but the native MSDN
  documentation can be replaced with any
  subscription MSDN from January 2002 forward.
• Therefore, it is possible that an MSDN Library
  could have already been installed.
• To save disk space, only one MSDN Library must be
  installed (native can be unselected).
