Installation packages and supporting files
Before you can customize or deploy SMART Notebook software, locate the installation packages
and supporting files.
Installation packages
There are two installation packages (also known as MSI files) for SMART Notebook software 10.7:
Installation package File name
SMART Notebook software SMART Notebook.msi
Adobe Flash Player ActiveX® control install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi

There’s one installation package for SMART Product Drivers 10.7 SP1:
Installation package File name
SMART Product Drivers SMART Product Drivers.msi
N N O T E S
l You need to install SMART Product Drivers only on computers connected to SMART
Board interactive whiteboards or other SMART interactive products.
l SMART Product Drivers 10.6 includes a second installation package, Visual C+ 2008
SP1 redistributable (vc_red.msi). If you’re installing SMART Product Drivers 10.6.106.1 or
10.6.175.2, you must install this installation package before installing SMART Product
Drivers.msi.
This installation package is located on the SMART Notebook software DVD.
Alternatively, you can download the packages from smarttech.com/software.
Save the packages in a location on your network that’s accessible to all computers on which you plan
to install the software.
Language files
If you plan to deploy the SMART Notebook and SMART Product Drivers software installation
packages in a language other than English (U.S.), ensure the corresponding MST file for the language
is in the same folder as the MSI file.
Similarly, if you want SMART Notebook software and SMART Product Drivers to support
handwriting recognition in a language other than English, you must download and install the MSI file
for the language.
See Language files and codes on page 39 for lists of all language files.
The language files are available from the same locations as the SMART Notebook software and
SMART Product Drivers installation packages.
