Control Panel Installations (PC)

WSU offers many programs to students, faculty, and staff at no additional charge that are not pre-loaded on the computer when it is received. To get these programs they must be installed from the network via Control Panel Installations.

Notes:

• You must be connected to the WSU campus network when installing programs
• NOTE: Some installs may take up to 30 minutes. Please do not quit the install process during this time.
