During installation
During the installation process, you will be prompted to check for updates on the FTP site. If you
enable the Check for updates option, the installation program will compare the latest available
AVWorks software version on the web site to the version being installed. If a newer version is
available, you may either download the newer package or continue with the current installation.
You are also prompted to choose the destination location where the application will be installed.
You may choose an existing path or type a directory path. The default path for Windows 2000, NT
and XP systems is the program files directory. The default path for Linux/Solaris systems is the usr/
lib directory.
If you enter a path that does not exist, the installation program will automatically create it
during installation.
You may also indicate if you want an AVWorks software icon installed on your desktop.
