Installation
| Q: |
During installation of Business Listing 2006/2007 CD-ROM, I am asked to choose between "Minimum Installation" and "Full Installation", which one should I choose? |
|
| A: |
"Minimal Installation" only installs the minimal set of files needed to run the application and will require only 40 MB of hard disk space. After installation, please note that CD-ROM is still required for retrieval of information. On the other hand, "Full Installation" will copy the files to your hard disk so that you will not need to use the CD-ROM when retrieving information. This will require approximately 450 MB hard disk space. |

Uninstallation
| Q: |
When I select the uninstall option, the uninstaller prompted me whether I want to remove shared component. Should I? |
