Figure: Choose Components Window

This screen shows that the component of the application labeled AnyZip core files cannot be unchecked while installing AnyZip - this is because these files are required for running the application correctly on your computer. However, the other two options can be checked. A brief explanation of each of these options is as follows:

Add Desktop Icon: If this option is checked, the Installation Wizard places a shortcut to the AnyZip application on your Windows Desktop. You can double-click this shortcut to launch the AnyZip application without having to browse through the listing of Programs in your computer.

Add Quick Launch Icon: When this option is selected, the Installation Wizard places a shortcut to the AnyZip application in your Quick Launch Bar (which requires an installation of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher). This enables you launch the AnyZip application from within any application or Window. An example of including the AnyZip shortcut in the Quick Launch Bar is shown below:

If both these options are selected, a shortcut to AnyZip is placed on both the Windows Desktop and the Quick Launch Bar, and you can click either of these to launch the application.

After choosing the components you require, click on the Next button to proceed with the installation.

The resultant, Choose Install Location window allows you to specify which directory the application should be installed in.
