Installer start screen.
Some versions of the installer require us to customize the install location, or if you wish to alter the default installation path (usually at the root of the largest data volume on the server). Bear in mind, that "C:Program Files" is not writable in some recent versions of Windows. The standard installation path for NewsRoom systems is C:NewsRoom45 or D:NewsRoom45 depending on the location of you primary data partition. You must choose custom install in order to install to one of these standard locations.

If the path shown in the 'Customize' screen is other than the root of the largest data volume, create an appropriate installation location, as shown over the next few screens.
