- Run the installer and select the newly created folder as the destination.
- Continue to Step 2.
[Step 2] Creating the required configuration.xml file
- Open the folder you've created in step 1, for example C:\Office.
- Right click the configuration.xml file and select Edit.
- You will see several defined values in the file:
