Installing Clarity

When Windows user accounts are already present on the PC it is recommended to install Clarity from a user account, that will work with it, using the Run as administrator option. When no Windows user accounts have been setup yet it is possible to first install Clarity and then proceed with their creation. Either way it is necessary to check that Windows user access right are set according to chapter Computer User Rights.

The process of installing Clarity to comply with regulated environment rules is as follows:
