SlingPlayer software installation

Follow these steps to install the software for your Slingbox.

1. Insert the supplied CD into your computer. If the InstallShield Wizard does not automatically start, run the “Install.exe” file on the installation CD.

2. Follow the on-screen steps to complete setup. If you connected the cables correctly, the video from your television source displays during setup. Recheck your 

connections if you don’t see video. Make sure all of the cables are securely attached.

The first part of the installation loads the SlingPlayer application on 

your computer. Follow the Wizard screens to complete the installation.

1. This is the first screen you will see. Click Next to begin the installa-

tion. Follow the on-screen instructions.

There is a software license agreement that you must accept to 

continue with the installation. Also, choose the destination folder 

where the SlingPlayer application will reside. It defaults to the 

same location as other programs installed on your computer. Once 

the installation is complete, the Wizard places the SlingPlayer 

shortcut on your desktop. This is what you will double-click to 

watch your Slingbox.
