Complete these steps to install one or more web protection software components on Windows.
 
Important 
To install web protection components on a Linux machine, see Installing Web Protection Components on Linux.
If you are distributing components across multiple machines, run the installer and complete the installation steps on each machine.
These instructions assume that you have already launched the installer and selected Custom. (For instructions on performing these steps, see Deployment.)
If you are adding components, skip to Step 2.

On the Installation Directory screen, accept the default installation path, or click Choose to specify another path, and then click Next.
The installation path must be absolute (not relative). The default installation path is one of the following:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Websense\Web Security (on the Forcepoint management server)
C:\Program Files\Websense\Web Security (on servers that do not have management components)
The installer creates this directory if it does not exist.
 
Important 
The installer compares the installation's system requirements with the machine's resources.

Insufficient RAM prompts a warning message. The installation continues when you click OK. To ensure optimal performance, increase your memory to the recommended amount.
