Especially for those who are completely unfamiliar with the Windows Installer, it may be of interest to know of an installation guide which is "hidden" deeply in a subdirectory on CD1.
There's no mention of it in the STOP Read This First sheet and the on screen installation dialog has no link to it; however, the file "install_guide.rtf" can be viewed under:
\swwi\data\support\i386\lang\english\

Thanks for the tip, I just found my copy of 2004 in the mailbox at work, funny my boss didn't get his though, hehehe.
I've been reading all I can about installing the new version before I actually jump in, especially having never seen a Windoze Installer before. But this looks to be an exciting release.

When I installed mine this morning, there was nary a glitch. Load the first CD, follow the simple instructions, load the other 2 as prompted, and done. I did not load Toolbox or Office, so there may be something there, but the rest was very straightforward. I was quite pleased.

All,
did you guys do an 'upgrade' from SW2003 with the CD's or a new install?
Also I'm using the downloaded SW2004 sp0.0; will I still be able to do future service packs by downloading from subscription service or will I need the CD's?
On my home machine I had to 'restore to an earlier time' to get the downloaded version back again. Using the CD's gave the program a bad installation with many error messages and problems so I switched back.
