double-click to on this file to run the setup program.
4. In the Select Destination Directory screen, click on the Browse button and select the same directory
that you used in step 1. Make sure the correct directory is displayed at the top of the window.
You may edit the path, if necessary, and then click on OK . Ignore the message that the directory
already exists.
5. In the Select Components screen, deselect the first three components. The installation program
