4. On the Custom Setup screen, you have the option of selecting how a feature is installed (if it will
install and where it installs to). Customize how features install by choosing one of the following
options, or leave the default settings. Click Next to continue.
• Select the option Application Data Files to prevent file sharing of one or more of these file types
or to change the current destination folder for application data. For details, see Application Data
Files Option .
• Select the option MapInfo Professional v12.5 Installer to change the destination folder. For
details, see MapInfo Professional v12.5 Installer Option .
5. On the Ready to Install the program screen, click Install.
6. On the Completed screen, click Finish.
7. Do one of the following:
• If you saved the installation files locally, create one MapInfo Professional installation DVD for each
user from the contents of the local folder. Make sure you copy the mode.xml file along with the
other installation files in that directory.
• If you saved the installation files on the network, notify each user of that network location so they
can install MapInfo Professional locally.
During this process, you created a MODE.XML file that contains the shared location you set for the
Application Data Files. When the user opens MapInfo Professional for the first time, the path to the
shared location is copied from the XML file to the user’s computer registry. If you need to change the
network location of these files, follow the instructions in
Changing the Shared Location after Installation .
If your users ask you about the product serial numbers, you can find them on the outside of the
MapInfo Professional box. Serial numbers are also in a letter inside the box, if you need to store
them. Note:
The Application Data Files are also stored locally for use when the shared folder is unavailable. The next
section describes this in more detail.
Application Data Files Option
During a workgroup installation, all Application Data Files are selected by default. However, on the
Custom Setup screen, you have the option to install specific application data files:
• To prevent file sharing of one or more of these file types, click the drop-down arrow beside the file
type and select This feature will not be available from the list. (When you choose not to install file(s)
to the shared location, MapInfo Professional uses the local copy of these file(s) instead.)
