Installation options

You can choose between the following types of installations:

Typical installation — automatically installs the main programs and utilities of the suite to a default location in the Program Files folder. If later you need a component that is not installed, you can modify your installation.

Custom installation — lets you choose additional features, exclude components that you don’t need, and specify where to install the suite.
