Installation Basics

Surveyor Scan Control is currently available on CD-ROM or internet download from your LDI distributor. The CD-ROM was created so that installation will begin when it is inserted into your computer. LDI suggests that if you are unfamiliar with the Surveyor Scan Control installation process that you cancel the installation and refer to the Surveyor Installation Instruction file included on the CD for detailed installation instructions.

The distribution CD-ROM contains everything needed to install the software as well as many extras. See the README.TXT file on the CD-ROM for more information.

The internet download includes these three files: Release Notes.doc, Surveyor Installation Instructions.chm, and Setup.exe.

Release Notes is a Microsoft Word document that contains technical descriptions of the current Surveyor Scan Control version that you are about to install on your PC.

Surveyor Installation Instructions contains the information required to install and configure Surveyor Scan Control onto your PC. As a default, it will open in your web browser.

Setup.exe is the executable file used to begin the installation process on your PC.
