Installation
ks from the download section of the Hoot website
Run the setup file as a user with administrative rights on the computer!
The name of the installer consists of the component name followed by the word "Setup" followed by a string that represents the build number. Official releases will have numbers only in the build string.
For example, an official client release setup file name might look like this: Client_Setup_313.exe.
The server setup installs the client as well.
Windows Hoot client installation
Run the Client_Setup_xxx.exe file and follow the instructions.
While going through the installation steps you will have to press the "I Agree" button to accept the Hoot license agreement and choose a destination folder to install into. A default location is suggested. When the installation completes, press finish and the client is installed on your computer.
The installation process will add shortcuts for starting the client in the "Program" menu of the windows "Start" button under "Hoot" and on your desktop. Double-click the desktop shortcut or click the "Start Hoot client" shortcut on the "Hoot" "programs" menu to start the client.
Windows Hoot server installation
Run the Server_Setup_xxx.exe file and follow the instructions.
While going through the installation steps you will have to press the "I Agree" button to accept the Hoot license agreement and choose a destination folder to install into. A default location is suggested.
When the installation completes, unless you uncheck the "Configure Hoot server" checkbox, pressing the finish button will open the Hoot control panel. The control panel can be used to add games to your game list by pressing the Auto Fing button.
If no password is set, the "Change Password" dialog will open before the control panel loads. Insert a password from 0 to 10 characters long (IMPORTANT - java Client doesn't support password).
You can open the control panel later from the "Programs" menu, from a desktop shortcut, and by left-clicking the server icon in the system tray.
The server will start automatically the next time you login because a shortcut was added to the "Startup" directory in the "Start/Programs" windows menu. To prevent the server from running automatically, delete the shortcut. To start the server, click the "Start Hoot server" shortcut in the "Start/Programs" menu or double-click the desktop shortcut.
Uninstalling
Uninstall using Windows "Add or Remove Programs" or from the "Start/Programs" Hoot directory "Uninstall Hoot" link. In the uninstall process, you will be asked if you want to delete application settings as the password for the server and the last host name for the client. wo can me download????????,
