The 

Custom Options

Destination Folder

Within the 

Destination Folder

 section of the dialog you are supposed to specify the

location where 

AVG File Server 2011

 should be installed. By default, AVG will be

installed to the program files folder located on drive C:. In case the folder does not
exist yet, you will be asked in a new dialog to confirm you agree AVG creates this
folder now. If you want to change this location, use the 

Browse 

button to display the

drive structure, and select the respective folder. 

Component Selection

The 

Component Selection 

section provides an overview of all 

AVG File Server 2011

components that can be installed. If the default settings do not suit you, you can
remove/add specific components. 

However, you can only select from components that are included in your
purchased AVG edition! 

Highlight any item in the 

Component Selection 

list, and a brief description of the

respective component will be displayed on the right side of this section.
