Attended Install or Uninstall

To install or uninstall Deep Freeze, complete the following steps:

1.	Run the installation program file (DFWks.exe) on the computer. The following screen appears:

2.	Click Install to begin the installation. Follow the steps presented, then read and accept the license agreement. Deep Freeze installs and the computer restarts.

Click Uninstall to uninstall Deep Freeze. Uninstall can only be clicked if Deep Freeze has previously been installed and the computer is currently Thawed. If there is an existing ThawSpace, Deep Freeze displays a dialog asking if it should be retained or deleted.

If the hard drive is too fragmented, it is not possible to create ThawSpace(s). A message is displayed prompting you to abort installation, or install Deep Freeze without ThawSpace(s).

 

If you select Delay Frozen reboot to complete Windows updates (Advanced Options Tab in the Configuration Administrator) and install Deep Freeze, the installer checks if all Windows updates are completed. If the Windows updates are not completed, Deep Freeze installation will not proceed. Complete Windows updates and try installing Deep Freeze again. If you disable Delay Frozen reboot to complete Windows updates and install Deep Freeze, ensure that all Windows updates are completed without using Deep Freeze. Disabling this option may result in the computer being stuck in a reboot cycle due to incomplete Windows updates.
