IS Department Windows Software

IS department courses and labs utilize a variety of software packages. This page lists those packages and gives installation instructions. The purpose of listing here, on a website, is to make it easy for installers to find up-to-date information, and easy for faculty to verify the current instructions, and easy for students to install identical or similar software on their computers at home.

Additions, corrections, and other updates should be referred to Don Colton for integration into this list.
