By default RSHUT PRO offers as installation folder "%ProgramFiles%\RSHUT Pro" folder. RSHUT PRO search where on remote computer is default "Program Files" folder (using Remote Registry) and automatically gets know where to install. You also can use another path (even withoutFurthermore, RSHUT PRO automatically detects local drives where it copies installation files and folders, creates menus and desktop shortcuts. For this it uses "administrative shares" - these are hidden shares with names like "C$", "D$", ... etc. The names of these shares are based on local drive letters on remote computers. These hidden shares may be disabled on computers in your network and if RSHUT PRO can't automatically find these it offers you to enable it temporarily (directly from setup) to continue the installation.
If you confirm - RSHUT PRO remotely enables administrative shares on computers where you have selected to install RSHUT PRO (as soon as installation will be finished - RSHUT PRO will restore previous state of adminstrative shares on all changed computers) and automatically reboots them (it is necessary step in order to get them available). In case any of these operations cannot be performed you will be informed with a special message.
Note: You can enable or disable administarive shares on remote computers using "AutoShare_Enable.reg" and "AutoShare_Disable.reg" files from setup's folder "Support".
Alternatively you can install RSHUT PRO via any other share on remote PC (other than administrative shares). Use the corresponding browse button to select share or enter path manually. In this case RSHUT PRO will not create any shortcut's in Start menu or on Desktop but the program will be installed correctly.
