SUMMARY
This article describes how to add programs and Windows components to your Windows Server 2003-based computer.

The Add or Remove Programs tool helps you to manage programs on your computer. This tool permits you to add a new program, or to change or remove an existing program. You can also use the Add or Remove Programs tool to add Windows Server 2003 components that you did not install when you performed the original installation (for example, Networking Services).

Installing a Program from a Network

 * 1) Log on to the computer as Administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.
 * 2) Click Start, point to Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.
 * 3) Click Add New Programs.

NOTE: The programs that you are authorized to add are displayed at the bottom of the screen. If your network administrator has organized programs into categories, you may have to select a different option under Category to locate the program that you want to add.
 * 1) Select the program that you want to add, and then click Add.
 * 2) Follow the instructions that are displayed on the screen to install the program.
 * 3) Click Close to close the Add or Remove Programs dialog box.

NOTES:
 * This procedure applies only if your computer is connected to a network.
 * When you start a program, or try to perform a task in a program, you may see a dialog box that indicates that the program is being installed or updated by Windows Installer. This behavior may occur if your administrator has set up the program to install in this manner, if program files have been deleted or corrupted, or if you are trying to use a program feature that was not installed during Setup. If the program was installed from a CD-ROM, or if you are no longer connected to the network, Windows Installer may prompt you to insert the CD-ROM into your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. When Windows Installer finishes, the program or feature that you are trying to use starts.
