click OK (Windows XP and earlier); or 2) select Computer > [DVD drive letter] > setup.exe.
(If the DVD/CD drive is not the D drive, substitute the letter that designates the DVD/CD
drive.)

Folder that defi nes where all components will be installed. Click Browse to select the
newly created shared directory (…\pmw270 and/or ...\pmw271) that you created in
