GSN Release 11 Installation Instructions

for Xerox Internal Computers Running Windows 7

1. Before You Begin

1. Read these instructions and the ReadMe.doc file completely before you begin.
2. The typical full install will take approximately half an hour.
3. Connect your PWS to AC power. Do not perform the install while running on battery power.

4. Please check the drive where you are about to install the PWS components. If it contains a
folder with name Windows.old, or containing such pattern (like Windows.old.000 or
Windows.old.001), please delete all those folders completely (after backing up the required
files in another drive).

5. Delete any old Xerox and XrxData folders on the same drive where Release 11 will be
installed. Failure to remove the old \Xerox and \Xrxdata folders and their contents will cause
some of the PWS components to fail to install.  These folders will be found under a “Lost and
Found” folder of user data transferred from another computer (Example: <userid>:My
Documents: Lost and Found: OldProfile: Application Data ). 

 IF THERE IS DATA IN THE \XEROX AND \XRXData  FOLDERS THAT YOU WISH TO
KEEP, YOU MUST COPY IT – BUT NOT THE PWS PROGRAM FILES -- TO ANOTHER
LOCATION AND THEN DELETE THE \XEROX AND \XRXdata FOLDERS.  (This is not
common.)   You can copy the data back after the Release 11 installation is complete, taking
care not to overwrite newer files with older files.      

2. Start the Install

All Users
NOTE: If your Screen Saver engages during install you can safely log back in.
NOTE: Many instructions refer to the Release 11 DVD. If you are installing PWS components as

shortcut to setup.exe on your desktop. Run setup.exe by double-clicking the desktop shortcut

contents in a new window.

8. When the Choose Install Type dialog box opens, select TYPICAL INSTALL. The install will
begin.

3. Installer Sequence
1. The Master Installer will run all necessary installs based upon the current configuration of your
computer.
2. In a few instances you will be required to complete installs by clicking on a dialog. Once these
installs are completed, the Master Installer will automatically start the next install.
3. Your computer will restart several times. Log back into your Windows desktop to continue the
installation.
4. After restarting the machine, you will get a UAC dialog box with Yes/No buttons, which is
prompted by User Account Control in Windows 7. Click on “Yes” button to continue installation.
NOTE: Sometimes this UAC will stay minimized on the taskbar, and blink. User is required to
click on it on the taskbar to bring it up, and then choose “Yes” to continue the installation.
Failure to do so in 1 to 2 minutes will cause the UAC to exit the install. If this happens, you
must restart Master Installer.
5. You may see a message box telling you that the Master Installer is waiting to start an install
(after your computer restarts). You can click the CONTINUE NOW button once all
applications have started, or you can wait for the countdown to reach zero in the Master
Installer.
6. When the Master Installer has finished you will see a dialog stating “Master Installer complete,
exiting. Computer will now restart.” Click OK to finish the install. System will restart.
7. If you have run this installation as part of a profile installation, you may delete these install
instructions, the shortcut to setup.exe on the desktop, and the C:\PWS folder – they are not
needed for proper operation of the PWS programs.

4. Installing the GSN Release 11 Repair Utility on Additional Accounts
