6. When prompted for a destination directory, enter the desired installation directory. By default this directory is c:\lonworks, unless previous L products ORKS have been installed and registered a different path in the Windows Registry. The path may be modified using the Browse button; however, if a directory other than c:\lonworks is chosen, the PCLTA-20 images path will have to be specified to enable use of the PCLTA-20 card. -
