As part of making your deployment choices, you select the type of installation that users receive when they install the program, choose which optional tools or features get included, and specify where the product will get installed on each workstation.

You can also choose to include Express Tools and the Material Library with this deployment.

You choose the location where program files are installed on the client workstation in the Product Install Path. To help decide where the product is installed, a chart of drives and disk space is provided.

  4. Enter the path on the client workstation where you want to install the program, for example C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2008, or click the [...] button to specify the install location.
