The list of products that you can select to install is based on the installation type and, optionally, on a system role that you select. Some products do not require different installation types or system roles. If this is the case for the product that you are installing, the Select Type of Installation and the Select System Roles pages are not displayed.
To install products, you will be asked to enter product configuration information in the installation utility for the products that you are installing. The type and amount of information depends on the products and the type of installation that you are performing (Default or Custom). Consult the product documentation for details on the information that you must enter for each product.
The following sections describe installing a product using different installation types:
If you select the default installation path, you will see a product selection tree similar to the one shown in the following figure.
Example of a product selection tree view for PATROL products--default installation path
The only selectable options shown are product solutions or groups, which are comprehensive sets of products designed to work together. If you are installing products using the default installation path, you can select only these comprehensive solutions or groups from the product selection tree. When you select a solution or group, all of the products included in that product set are automatically selected; you might not be able to clear individual products that you do not want to install.
In addition, you are presented with subsequent pages to enter only mandatory product configuration information.
Use the default installation path if your installation scenario is similar to one of the following examples:
If you select the custom installation path, you will see a product selection tree similar to the one shown in the following figure.

When you select a solution or group, all of the products that belong to that product set (including required and optional products) are automatically selected. However, by using the custom installation path, you can clear any of the optional products that you do not want to install.
In addition, you are presented with subsequent pages to enter both mandatory and optional product configuration information about these products.
Use the Custom installation path if your installation scenario is similar to one of the following examples:
