6 The Select Location window displays. Enter a program and data path, then
click Next.
The default location or path for the program files is the directory
PEACHW on drive C. We recommend leaving this path as the default to
increase speed and performance. If the workstation you are installing
does not have a hard drive, you will need to change this location to the
network drive. Select Browse next to the Program Path field to change
the path for the files. If you know the name of the path, you may type the
path into the field.
Make sure the Data Path is set to the proper network drive (for example,
F:\PEACHW). Do not set the data path to a network root directory (for
example, F:\). Change the location of the data files by selecting Browse
next to the Data Path field.
