The Installation wizard for packages that are comprised of multiple products gives you the option to choose
which products you want to install.
In the Installation wizard, for packages containing multiple products, you can choose which products and
languages you want to install. During the install process, you are informed whether a copy of the software is
already installed. You are also warned if your system does not meet the minimum system requirements for the
product. Each product name is displayed on its own tabbed panel; you can configure them individually.
If you purchased a package that is a multi-product bundle, such as an educational or institutional package, you
may have a package that includes several Autodesk products. For these bundled packages, an Installer disc contains
information for all the products in the package. The Installer disc helps you install all of the products.
