  8. To start the installation wizard, right-click SmartView.exe and select Run as administrator.

    You may also double-click SmartView.exe to start the installation wizard; however, some configurations may require Run as administrator. Therefore, Oracle recommends using the Run as administrator command to ensure that all functionality is properly enabled and all required Windows Registry entries are set. See Installation and Windows Access Control Settings for more information.

    For new installations, Smart View is installed by default in:

    If you are upgrading an existing installation of Smart View, the installer defaults to the folder where Smart View was previously installed.

    Note:

    Oracle recommends installing in the default location or in a location that does not contain any spaces in the installation path. For example, Oracle advises that you do not install in C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86).

  10. When installation is complete, click OK.

    The Smart View ribbon is displayed the next time you open Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, or Word.
