Introduction
This document contains information regarding XMap® 7 installation and tasks at the administrative level.
Content may evolve over time as additional information is provided or new tasks are added. This
document is not intended to preclude the need of more detailed process descriptions that may be found in
the XMap Help documentation. Please contact DeLorme Professional Sales if you are unable to address

SECURITY NOTE
The XMap installation may temporarily change local security policies during the installation process. To
restore the security policies back to their original settings, reboot after installing XMap. If you are

back to their original states.

Using SMS
section.
• Install the prerequisites using Active Directory. The Install Prerequisites Using Active Directory
section describes how to install the prerequisites for Active Directory. This option is a little more

sequencing of startup scripts after software distribution in Active Directory, you have to perform a
step to check the installation of the prerequisites on the client computers before implementing the
instructions for installing XMap using Active Directory.
SMS or another software distribution system with similar capabilities is the most robust and easiest way to
deploy the prerequisites and application. If you have that available, you should use it.
Prepare for Installing the Prerequisites
Save the prerequisite installer to a network share that already exists or create a new network share that is
accessible to all of the client computers that you want to distribute XMap to. Ensure that the Everyone
