        1. Exit all programs currently running on your computer, then do one of the following:

        • To install from a CD-ROM, insert it into the CD-ROM drive. The Setup program automatically starts. If, however, the Setup program does not initiate, double-click Setup.exe in the PGP folder on the CD-ROM.

        • To install from downloaded files, extract the compressed installation files onto your computer. Double-click on Setup.exe to start the installer.

        2. The Setup program searches for open programs and prompts you to close them. If you have PGP version 4.x - 6.x currently installed, the PGP setup program prompts you to uninstall the old PGP files. Click Yes to automatically uninstall the old version. Your keyring files are saved in a file named Old Keyrings. You must reboot your computer after uninstalling the files. Once your computer reboots, the installer continues. The PGP Installation screen appears.

        12. If you have keyrings on your computer from a previous version of PGP, click Yes to use your existing keyrings. A browse dialog box appears.

If you do not have keyrings on your computer, click No. When you first open the PGPkeys application, you are prompted to create a keypair.

        13. If you chose to install the PGPnet application, the PGPnet Network Adapter List appears listing the network adapters found on your system. If you want to communicate securely over a modem, select your WAN adapter (for example, Remote Access WAN Wrapper or dialup adapter). If you want to communicate securely over an Ethernet connection, select your LAN adapter (for example, 3COM Megahertz LAN PC Card). When you have made your selection, click OK.
NOTE: On Windows 98 computers, WAN is listed as "Dialup Adapter" instead of "Remote WAN Wrapper." The installation program binds the PGPnet driver to the adapter you selected and configures your computer to use the PGPnet application.
