3.2.1 Starting Administrator Tool

Only the users who have Administrator permissions can use Administrator Tool.

To start Administrator Tool:

  1. Click the Start button. Then choose Programs, Software Distribution Administrator Kit, and then Startup Kit.
    Administrator Tool starts up and the Startup Kit dialog box appears. This dialog box lets you create a new installation set, and edit, copy and delete the created installation set.
    In Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista, since only a member of the Administrators group can install a program, the User Account Control dialog box appears before Administrator Tool starts. After program execution is permitted in this dialog box, Administrator Tool can start. If you choose Cancel in this dialog box, Administrator Tool does not start.

Figure 3-2 shows the Startup Kit dialog box and the components of the dialog box.
