> # Installing the SequeLink® Manager

> The SequeLink Manager installer requires the Microsoft Windows Installer service. If the SequeLink Manager installer detects that the service is not installed on your machine, or that an older version is installed, a message is displayed. After installing the Microsoft Windows Installer service, you might need to restart your machine. Then you can install SequeLink Manager.

> The SequeLink Manager installer on Windows also checks for the correct version of Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC). If the installer detects that MDAC 2.7 Service Pack 1 or higher is not installed, an error message is generated.

> MDAC 2.7 Service Pack 1 is shipped with SequeLink and can be found in the sqlnk60\mdac\win32 subdirectory (32-bit) on the DataDirect DVD. Alternatively, you can download MDAC from the Microsoft Web site.

> To start the SequeLink Manager installer:

> - If installing from the DataDirect DVD, insert the DVD into the DVD-ROM drive. If you have a local DVD-ROM drive, this typically is drive D. If the DVD-ROM drive is on a network, mount the DVD and create a mapping to the DVD-ROM drive. Then, perform one of the following actions:
> - If AutoRun for DVDs is enabled and you have a browser, the main installer window displays automatically. Select the product that you want to install; then, follow the instructions to install the product.
> - If AutoRun for DVDs is not enabled or you do not have a browser, use Windows Explorer to navigate from the root directory of the DVD to the folder for the SequeLink Manager (\sqlnk60\win32\manager). Then, double-click setup.exe.
> - If installing from files downloaded from the Web, follow the download instructions on the DataDirect Technologies Web site to download the appropriate self-extracting ZIP file. Open the contents of the ZIP file into a directory (for example: C:\temp). Then, navigate to the directory that contains the unzipped files and double-click setup.exe to start the installer.
