If you do so, the selected components are installed in the product installation directory you specified during the initial installation. | Specify the directory in which you want to install the software and click Next. You can accept the default product directory (`rfid_enterprise20`) or create a new product directory. See Choosing a Product Installation Directory. If you choose to create a new directory, the installation program automatically creates one for you.
Choose Shortcut Location This window is displayed only under the following conditions: You have Administrator privileges. You are performing an initial installation. You are installing on a Windows platform. | Specify the Start menu folder in which you want the Start menu shortcuts created. You can select from the following options: "All Users" Start Menu folder (recommended) Selecting this option provides all users registered on the machine with access to the installed software. However, only users with Administrator privileges can create shortcuts in the All Users folder. Therefore, if a user without Administrator privileges uses the Configuration Wizard to create domains, Start menu shortcuts to the domains are not created. In this case, users can manually create shortcuts in their local Start menu folders, if desired. Local user's Start Menu folder Selecting this option ensures that other users registered on this machine will not have access to the Start menu entries for this installation. When you click Next, the installation begins.
Status | Read the information displayed about BEA products and services. When the installation program has finished copying the specified files to your system, click Next.
Installation Complete | Displays a message indicating that the installation was successful. Specify whether you want to run the Configuration Wizard. Clear the check box for this option if you do not want to launch the Configuration Wizard at this time. You can run the Configuration Wizard later, but until you run the Configuration Wizard to create a domain and configure WebLogic RFID Enterprise Server components, you will not have access to the RFID Enterprise Server software. Clicking the Done button exits the installer and starts the Configuration Wizard.

Note: | If the Run the Configuration Wizard check box is selected (the default), there will be a short wait between the time you click Done and the time the Configuration Wizard is displayed.
