5. In this window, you may change the installation. By default, when you install the 64-bit

version, the installation directory is C:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\c10_64. A different

default location might be necessary for some business requirements. For example, some

organizations allow only the operating system to reside on the C drive; other applications,

such as Dynamic Query Analyzer, must be installed on a secondary drive. Use this

window to change the default location.

After you select the correct location for the installation, click Next.

6. The Component Selection window opens (Figure 3-20). Dynamic Query Analyzer is one

single component. This option is selected by default. Click Next.

7. The Shortcut Folder window opens (Figure 3-21). In this window, you may select the Start

Menu folder where you want to install the Dynamic Query Analyzer application. By default,

the Dynamic Query Analyzer shortcut will be placed on the IBM Cognos 10 folder.

In this window, you have the option to make available the Dynamic Query Analyzer

shortcut to all users for that workstation, or you can limit the shortcut to only the user

account that we are using to install the application. Security is the main reason why some

people might want limit the shortcut to only the installation user, especially when multiple

users have access to the same workstation.

When you finish making your selections, click Next.
