<h2 class="style1">Installation</h2>
<p><span class="style2">Important</span>:
Installing under NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7, you must have
administrative rights to install the program as a service. You
can install it as an application even without having administrative
rights (except on Vista). If you have an old version (9 or older) of the program
running, <span class="style2">NEVER INSTALL</span> the new version
into the old version's directory. An update to a new version between
the same major version can be installed into the same directory,
though. For example, you can install 10.3 into the same directory
which contains 10.2, but not under the same directory that contains
9.4.</p>
<p>To properly install Cobian Backup, simply run the cbSetup.exe program. Choose a directory to install, for
example C:\Cobian Backup and select the installation mode: </p>
<p>As a service: This option will be enabled
as the recommended one. You will be prompted if you want to run the
service under the system account or other account.
<span class="style2">If you are accessing network resources, you cannot run the service
under the system account</span> and the service must run under
another existing account, with the necessary privileges to access
the network. </p>
<p>As an application, autostart for any user:
This option installs the program as an application, and starts it
automatically when any user logs on. This option is also disabled if
you don't have administrative rights.</p>
<p>As an application, autostart for the current
user: This option installs the program as an application, and
starts it automatically when the current user logs on. </p>
<p>As an application, no autostart: The
application must be manually started from the icon in the start-
menu. </p>
<p><span class="style2">See the <a href="faq_en.htm">FAQ</a></span>
if you have problems when installing as a service. </p>
<p>To uninstall the program, go to the Control panel-
Add/delete program and select Cobian Backup. </p>
<p><strong>Unattended installations</strong></p>
<p>If you select the option "Create script for unattended
installations", then when the setup is done, a file with the name
cbSetup.txt will be created and placed in the same directory where
the setup was launched from. When you are ready to install in some
other machine, then simply lauch the setup with the cbSetup.txt file
present in the same directory. Then, the setup will automatically
preform the installation using the same settings used for the first
installation.</p>
<p>a. If you put a ini file (cbEngine.ini) in the same directory
where you launch the setup from, and the installation is unattended,
then this ini file will be copied and used by the program after the
installation. You can use parameters in the Current list (here
only) to force the creation of the list in the place you want. For
example, if you use </p>
<p>Current list=%DBPATH\MainList.ini then the list to use will be
created in the program's main database folder. </p>
<p>b. If you have a file name *without* path in the ini file Current
list, and you put a list with the same name in your setup directory,
this list will be copied into the DB directory and it will then be
used as the current list.</p>
<p>For example, having </p>
<p>Current list=Test.lst</p>
<p>and putting test.lst in the same directory where your unattended
setup is will result in that list being copied to the DB directory
and used as the current list.</p>
<p><strong class="style2">Indicating a malformed or illegal Current
list parameter *will* cause the program to crash. Modify only if you
*know* what you are doing!!!</strong></p>
