Adobe programs (Reader, Flash Player, Acrobat, and Photoshop) (+*)

Download from http://www.adobe.com/ and install Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash Player. Make sure not to install extra programs such as Google Toolbar. Download from OIT web site and install KeyAccess, Adobe Acrobat, and Adobe Photoshop. After running KeyAccess installer, there is no indication if it has been installed or not.

PhotoShop installation will take a looong time, so just leave it and do something else. After installation, run Acrobat and PhotoShop as administrator to activate them. Test Adobe Reader by browsing to http://oit.nd.edu/training/documentation/ and opening the PDF files there.

WARNING: To avoid problems, Adobe Reader has to be installed BEFORE Adobe Acrobat. After installation, move all Adobe program menus in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ to the Adobe\ subfolder.

    2. OpenAFS for Windows depends on MIT Kerberos for Windows (KFW) to provide Kerberos 5 functionality. The recommended version of KFW for OpenAFS for Windows 1.5.75 is version 3.2.2. 64-bit releases of KFW are available from Secure Endpoints Inc.
    3. Click on Secure Endpoints to download the KFW msi file (64-bit only). Install kfw-amd64-3-2-2.msi choosing Typical installation. Copy our krb5.ini to C:\Windows\.
