1. On the Windows Start menu, click Run.
2. In the Open box, type the following:

   NOTE: If you choose to install the files to the Network server, the Setup program will create a small folder that contains some specific files for Publisher on the local hard disk.
6. When you created the administrative installation point, if you selected the User's Choice option, which allows the user to specify where shared components will be installed, you will see the following options:
