The default installation target is C:\Program Files\Hitachi\NETMDM (C: indicates the drive on which the OS has been installed). If JP1/Software Distribution Manager is to be installed on a computer that is running a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2003 (x64), the default installation directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\Hitachi\NETMDM. In this case, replace references in the manual to Program Files with Program Files (x86).

To change the default installation directory, click the Browse button to select the desired directory. You should note the following about changing the installation directory:

• Specify the installation target directory, using alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following special characters:
  _ \ . : ( )
  
• Check that the installation directory does not end with \. For example, do not specify C:\NETMDM\.
• Do not specify a drive name only as the installation directory. For example, do not specify C:.
• When installing OpenView Linkage on a PC whose NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation is set to 1 in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem, do not include any spaces in the installation target directory. If a space is included, OpenView Linkage cannot be used.
