installer software for the ISIS clients.
•
ISIS Windows Client — Select this menu item to install the Avid ISIS client software on
Windows clients. This installer detects the Windows client’s operating system, and
installs the appropriate client software. If a previous ISIS client software is installed, the
old version is uninstalled and the new version is installed.
•
ISIS File Gateway — Select this menu item to install the Avid ISIS File Gateway
software on a standalone File Gateway server. This software is included with the ISIS
2000 System Director software and cannot be installed on the same server as the ISIS

Remove ISIS Software — Select this menu item to uninstall the Avid ISIS software. You
do not need to run the uninstaller if upgrading your ISIS. The ISIS installers
automatically detect your ISIS software and uninstalls the necessary components before
installing the selected ISIS software. Use this menu selection if an attempt was made to
install the ISIS software without using installer splash screen. Components that are left
behind are detected and uninstalled properly. You can also use this menu selection if
planning to remove all the ISIS software without installing other ISIS software. This one
selection saves you from selecting several software components in the Windows Control
panel.
