Installing Windows

An installation utility is used to install all the components of a system. Where components cannot be installed (such as SQL server) the user will either be told via the installation instructions to ensure that the software is installed or prompted to insert the correct disk, so it can be installed automatically.

This process is for a clean install of  Netspan.
