Installing from the Web Install Page

  1. Log on to the endpoint using a built-in administrator account.
    Note:

    For Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 platforms, you have to enable the built-in administrator account first. Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 disable the built-in administrator account by default. For more information, refer to the Microsoft support site (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744293%28WS.10%29.aspx).

  2. If installing to endpoints running Windows Vista, Server 2008, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, Server 2012, 2012R2, or 2016, perform the following steps:

    2. Modify the Internet Explorer security setting to enable Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls. On Windows 7, go to Tools > Internet Options > Security tab, and click Custom level....
