This chapter explains how to install the client component of your NetMan Desktop Manager program. After you install the NetMan Desktop Manager server component, the client component installation begins automatically if the latest NetMan Client version is not detected on the server. If you need to launch the NetMan Client Setup manually, i.e., on a client machine, use one of the executable files in \\<NetMan server>\<%nmhome%>\Client\Setup.
Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are available. Select the appropriate version for your client operating system.

If you have a large number of (potential) client stations in your NetMan Desktop Manager system, manual installation on each client would be a long, tedious job. For details on distributing the NetMan Client through the network from one central position, see "Distribute the NetMan Client".
