On the Select Installation Folders for Support Content page, you choose where your support content gets installed by specifying a folder other than the default user profile folder used in previous releases. As a network administrator, these options give you greater control over where you place support content during installations or deployments.

Support files consist of six main types:

• Support - Includes customization/menu files, palette content and hatch and linetypes.
• Plotters - Includes plot styles (.ctb files), and plot configuration files (.pc3 and .pmp files).
• Data Links - Contains data links files.
• Template - Includes drawing and Sheet Set templates, and Publish to Web templates.
• Rendering - Includes hardware certification information, and Web Light files.
• Help - Includes User’s Guide, Command Reference, New Features Workshop, and various guides and learning resources.

Among the four options available, you can choose a single shared location, local or network, where all your support content is installed. The illustration and table below outline the other available options.

There are four support content folder options:

An Overwrite Existing Files in Shared Network Folders check box is available when either the Single Shared folder or Custom folder options is selected. If the box is checked, the existing files in the chosen folder are overwritten. No additional warning is given. If the box is unchecked, a warning message is displayed.
