Windows Home Server includes an easy way to install specific software for this platform in the form of Add-In's.

Installing an Add-In to Windows Home Server is a very simple process, regardless of the Add-In you choose, although additional steps maybe required to configure the application once it is installed.

• Copy the MSI file to \\hpserver\software\add-ins. or Right click on your WHS task tray icon and select "Shared Folders." In Shared Folders you will need to double-click the "Software" folder then double-click on "Add-Ins." Now drag your msi file (s) to this folder.
• Start your Windows Home Server Console and select "Settings" from the top right of the console. In the next screen, choose "Add-Ins" from the list on the left. This will provide you with a tabbed screen; one for "Installed" Add-ins and one for "Available" Add-ins. Under the Available tab you will see the list of add-ins you just copied to the Software/Add-Ins folder. Find the Add-in you wish to install in the list, highlight it and then click "Install".
