At the end of the installation process, the wizard offers to launch the Sling-
Player program for you. If you haven??™t yet set up the Slingbox (as will be
the case if you??™ve just installed SlingPlayer on your first PC), decline this
invitation, because you need to set up the Slingbox. But if you??™ve installed
SlingPlayer on a second or subsequent PC, accept this invitation, and move
right along to Step 6.

Dealing with the ???SlingPlayer Is Incompatible
with This Version of Windows??? Message
At this writing, some Slingbox models ship with a version of the SlingPlayer
software that??™s compatible with Windows XP and Windows 2000 but incompatible
with Windows Vista. If you install this older version of SlingPlayer on
Windows Vista, you??™ll see a Program Compatibility Assistant dialog box the
first time you try to run SlingPlayer (or when the Setup Wizard tries to run
SlingPlayer for you):
Click the Cancel button, launch your web browser, and go to the Sling
Media web site (www.slingmedia.com), where you can download a Windows
Vista??“compatible version of SlingPlayer. Install this version, and the problem
should go away.

first screen. If not, choose Start | All Programs | Sling Media | Slingbox Setup
Wizard to launch the wizard.
