The Installation Folder panel gives you the opportunity to install Weavecentrix Desktop in a folder other than its normal installation folder. Usually, people will accept the default installation folder.

 

Choosing the Java Virtual Machine

Weavecentrix Desktop requires a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to run. There is a JVM included in the standard installation package. This JVM is selected in this wizard panel by default. It is the usual practice to use this JVM with Weavecentrix Desktop.

This panel gives you the opportunity select another JVM but you should contact Weavecentrix Technical Support before doing so as that particular version of the JVM may not be supported by Weavecentrix Desktop.

If you are in any doubt, select the JVM that comes with Weavecentrix Desktop.

 

Pre-installation Summary
