VMware GSX Server Administration Guide

4. Choose whether you want to perform a complete or a custom installation.

Complete Installation

A complete installation installs the server software, the VMware Management
Interface, the VMware Virtual Machine Console, the VmCOM API and the VmPerl
API on the GSX Server host. To choose the complete installation, select
Complete, then click Next.

If you want to install all the GSX Server components in a directory other than the
default, click Change and browse to the directory of your choice. If the directory
does not exist, the installer creates it for you.

Caution: GSX Server must be installed on a local drive, not a network drive.

Note: Windows and the Microsoft Installer limit the length of a path to a folder
to 255 characters for a path to a folder on a local drive and 240 characters for a
path to a folder on a mapped or shared drive. If the path to the GSX Server
program folder exceeds this limit, an error message appears. You must select or
enter a shorter path.

When you are ready to continue, click Next and go to step 5.
