To choose your distribution media

1.	Click to open the list under Target Diskette(s) to choose the distribution media for your installation.

2.	Choose the size of the disk(s) you will distribute, or choose CD-ROM compressed or uncompressed.

If you are distributing your demo on disks, the Setup Wizard calculates the size of your files and determines how many disks you will need.  The default size for distribution disks is 1.44 megabytes.

If you are distributing your demo on a compressed CD, the Setup Wizard will create one large file to be placed on your CD that your viewer will use to install your demo files on their system.

If you select the CD uncompressed option, your viewers will be able to play your demo(s) without installing them on their systems.  They will just run the demo(s) from their CD ROM drives.  All support files will be referenced directly from the CD.To choose the directory where you will build your distribution files

1.	Click Choose Directory to browse for the directory (or folder) in which you want the Setup Wizard to place your distribution files, and click OK.  Or, if you prefer, you may type the path and name of a directory (or folder) in the edit field that appears below the Choose Directory button.

It’s from this directory that you will copy the setup files for your demo to your disks or CD.

If several disks are required for your demo, DemoShield will create subdirectories for each disk.  Example DISK 1, DISK 2, DISK 3, etc..

2.	Click Next to continue.
