Installation

Make sure you extract the contents of CMC.zip to C: Common mistake: Do not create a “CMC” subdirectory

yourself. If you do this, another “CMC” subdirectory may be created underneath it. Check this out.

Make sure ONLY C:\ is selected, then click Extract

After installation, you should see the cmc directory in C: (as shown in the diagram below)

If you open the cmc directory and see ONLY a cmc directory, then you have incorrectly extracted CMC.zip to C:\cmc instead of C:. Delete C:\cmc folder and redo installation of the “CourseMarker Client (with Dr. Java included)”.
