User Guide
Installation options
During the installation, you will be asked to select one of the two installation options:
● Typical (recommended) – This option installs all components of the pro
gram, including all recognition languages. You will be prompted to choose a
single interface language during installation.
● Custom installation – This option allows you to choose to install only specific
components of the program, including all available recognition languages.
Consult the readme.htm file on the ABBYY FineReader CDROM if you encounter an error
message.
Note: If you wish to retain your user dictionaries and patterns from a previously installed
version of ABBYY FineReader, do not uninstall the older version of the program prior
to installing the new version. All existing user dictionaries and patterns will then
be available for use in the latest version.
Network Server/Workstation Installation
Only the system administrator may install ABBYY FineReader 7.0 Corporate Edition on a net

er. From the server, the program can be installed on workstations using one of the four
methods:
● using Active Directory
● using Microsoft System Management Service (SMS)
● form the command line
● manually in interactive mode
To install ABBYY FineReader 7.0 Corporate Edition on the server:
1. Insert the ABBYY FineReader CDROM into the CDROM drive.

option.
The System Administrator's Guide (which can be found in the Administrator’s Guide folder
on the server where ABBYY FineReader is installed) provides additional information about
installing ABBYY FineReader on workstations, working with the License Manager and working
with the program in a local area network.
