Specify the directory in which JP1/Software Distribution Client is to be installed. This dialog box is displayed only during a new installation. In an upgrade, JP1/Software Distribution Client is installed automatically in the existing installation directory.

Figure 3-4 Specify Installation Directory dialog box

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 Client 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\NETMDMP. In this case, replace references in the manual to Program Files with Program Files (x86).

To change the default installation target directory, click the Browse button and specify a desired directory. The following notes apply to changing the installation target directory:

• Do not specify a network drive as the installation target directory. If a network drive is specified, JP1/Software Distribution Client operation cannot be guaranteed.
• Specify the installation target directory using alphanumeric characters, spaces, and the following special characters:
  _ \ . : ( )
  
• Make sure that the installation target directory does not end with \. For example, do not specify C:\NETMDM\.
• Do not specify a drive name only as the installation target directory. For example, do not specify C:.
• If you are installing JP1/Software Distribution Client on a multiboot PC (one that can boot to different OSs), use a different installation target directory for each OS. Sharing the same installation target directory among multiple OSes may result in abnormal operation.
