Understand Administrative Permission
Requirements
To install Autodesk Navisworks, you must have administrator permissions.
You do not need to have domain administrative permissions. See your system
administrator for information about administrative permissions.
To run Autodesk Navisworks, you do not need administrator permissions. You
can run the program as a limited user.
Avoid Data Loss During Installation
The Autodesk Navisworks installation process may stop if some applications
(such as Microsoft
®
Outlook
®
or virus-checking programs) are running.
Close all running applications to avoid possible data loss.
Choose a Language
You can select a different language for installation instructions, and a language
for individual product installations in the same install process.
When you start the installation process, the installer automatically determines
your operating system language. If a supported language is detected, your
install pages are displayed in that language. If you want to change that
language, you select a different one from the Installer Language list on the
first page of the Installation wizard.
NOTE Some products may not have multi-language support at the time of product
release. Additional language support may be available later. Check
http://sup-
port.autodesk.com
for the availability of additional language packs.
Using Language Packs
Language packs support use of different languages in each Autodesk Navisworks
product, including exporters. Pack names start with NAVFREE_, NAVSIM_,
NAVMAN_, and exporters_ respectively.
