NOTE When installing the PSP on a system running Server Core, keep in mind the following exceptions to the PSP installation: • You cannot specify the location for extracting the PSP files. The files are extracted to the same location as the PSP self-extracting executable. • You must run the executables rather than double-clicking the .exe files. 2. Double-click the executable and extract the PSP to a desired location. 3. Go to the directory where the extracted PSP is located. 4. Double-click setup.exe to start the PSP deployment. NOTE Make sure that PSP files are in the same directory as the setup.exe program. 5.
