or a custom installation.
Why and when to perform this task

procedure.
Steps for this task

log on as an administrator.

you to read the licence agreement.

terms of the license agreement, click I accept the terms in the

directory, click Complete.
- To choose which features you want to install, and specify where they will
be installed, click Custom.

If you select
the complete install option, the installation wizard tells you that it is
ready to begin installation, as described in step 8.
If you select the custom install option, the installation wizard asks you
to select the features that you want to install and you must complete step 6 and step 7 before
moving on to step 8.
- For a custom install only, click an icon in the list
of features to specify any changes to how you want the Message Service Client for .NET features
to be installed. If you do not want to install Message Service Client for .NET in
the directory suggested, choose another directory.

a directory that does not currently exist, the installation wizard creates
the directory for you.
If you want to develop XMS applications,
ensure that the Development Tools and Samples feature
is selected. This feature provides the sample applications, and the libraries

If you do not select this feature, only the files needed to run XMS applications
are installed.
- If you are using the custom install option, click Next after
selecting the options you require as described in step 6.
The installation wizard tells you that it is ready to begin
installation.
