For purposes of A-Shell installation there are basically three types of Windows environments:

•   Single users

•   Local area networks (LANs) of modest size.

•   Other networks: this broad category includes large LANs, WANs, networks with remote users, networks where multi-user access and/or network traffic are significant concerns, and every other network situation that is other than the two simple environments mentioned above. See Windows Performance for more information.

Single User Installation

A-Shell/Windows is normally downloaded from the MicroSabio web site and installed on a PC like any other Windows program. To install, follow the normal Windows software installation procedure—that is, download the appropriate Windows installation program from the MicroSabio downloads page and then run program, following the prompts and answering the questions. The installation procedure will optionally create a shortcut for Launching A-Shell, and you're off and running. The final step is to run A-Shell, go to Help...Check for Updates, and install the latest version of the software.
