C H A P T E R 2 Installing VMware GSX Server
51
Custom Installation
A custom installation lets you pick and choose which components to install. You
can always run the installer again at a later date to install components you did
not install the first time. Select
Custom and click Next . The Custom Setup screen
appears.
In the Custom Setup screen, choose the components to install. Click the arrow to
the left of the component you do not want to install and select the appropriate
option from the menu.
If you need to determine how much free space is on your host, click Space . This
is useful if you are choosing a custom installation due to limited disk space on
your host.
If you want to install all the GSX Server components in a directory other than the
default, click
Browse and select the directory. If the directory does not exist, the
installer creates it for you.
Caution: GSX Server must be installed on a local drive, not a network drive.
Note: Windows and the Microsoft Installer limit the length of a path to a folder
to 255 characters for a path to a folder on a local drive, and 240 characters for a
path to a folder on a mapped or shared drive. If the path to the GSX Server
program folder exceeds this limit, an error message appears. You must select or
enter a shorter path.
When you are ready to continue, click Next .
