1. Before you install the Domino server program files on a Windows system, do the following:

• Make sure that the required hardware and software components are in place and working.
• Read the Release Notes for operating system and network protocol requirements and for any last-minute changes or additions to the documentation.
• Temporarily disable any screen savers and turn off any virus-detection software.
• Before running any Domino setup command, be sure to complete any pending reboot actions you may have from installing other applications.
• Make sure that all other applications are closed. Otherwise, you may corrupt any shared files, and the Install program may not run properly.
