4- Change the target hard drive (maybe)

Next you will come to the Standard Location screen. This screen lets you tell the installer where your Photoshop application is.

Most likely, you do NOT need to change this lcoation. Our installer should already have detected where Photoshop is.

If you DO want to change the location, click the Change Install Location button. Choose the target drive. (Remember, the Photoshop application must be on that drive!)

After that, the plugin does all the work and finds the correct Plug-ins folder to install to.
