# Software Installation - How To

## How do I use Endpoint Central to enter information during the installation of a user-specific software application?

### Description

Follow the steps provided in this document to enter information during the installation of a user-specific software application. For example, if you are installing an e-mail client for each of the users in your network, you will be prompted to create a unique user name and password for individual users when the installation is in progress. You can use the steps given below to complete this task.

### Steps

Assume that you have added a package which has an installable file that enables you to be prompted to enter information during the installation of a software application.

To enter information during the installation of a software application, follow the steps given below:

1. Click the **Software Deployment** tab
2. Against the package that you added, click **Install/Uninstall Software-User**
3. Enter a name and description for the configuration
4. Select the following:
   - Installer type: Select the installer type based on the type of package that you have added.
   - EXE package name: The name of the package that you created.
   - Operation type: Install

> **Note**: Do not enter anything in the **Run As** field.

5. Make the required deployment settings
6. Select the required client computers using the **Define Target** option
7. Configure the execution settings, if required
8. Click **Deploy**

You have configured the settings required to enter information during the installation of a software application. The settings will reflect in the client computers during the agent's 90-minute refresh cycle or during logon—whichever takes place earlier.
