Installation Requirements for NED-2

NED-2 will only install on Windows 2000, service pack 3 operating systems or later, as well as any version of Windows XP.  The installation and setup of NED-2 requires the Microsoft Windows Installer engine, version 3.0 or newer.  You may already have Windows Installer 3.0 if you have Windows XP service pack 2 or newer.  If you aren't sure which version of the windows installer is present on your computer, you may download a small utility program that will verify your current Windows Installer version below.

Installation Instructions

  1. Determine whether or not you need to upgrade the Windows Installer on your computer as described in the Installation Requirements above.  
  1. Download and run the Windows Installer setup, if necessary.   If you don't need to upgrade the Windows Installer, skip to step 3.   You must be logged on as an Administrator to perform the Windows Installer upgrade.  A system reboot is required after the Windows Installer upgrade.  
  1. Download the ned-2 setup below, then run it.  The ned-2 setup is called "ned2install.exe". 

Effective January 2008, the NED2 installation will require Administrator privileges.  This is because of increased security restrictions on Windows Vista as well as on earlier Windows versions. 

The NED-2 setup will automatically determine whether or not you need to upgrade the Windows Installer on your machine.  If  the NED-2 setup does not find the correct version of the Windows Installer, the setup will stop and inform you that it cannot proceed until you upgrade the Windows Installer on your computer. 

  1. Follow the prompts on the ned-2 setup to install ned-2 on your computer. 

  1. We encourage you to visit the NED-2 support page to check for updates that are newer than your full installation package.
