In the next window, we'll choose how the user will install this application from a Web site via a shared UNC path or from a CD-/DVD-ROM. Leave the default Web site of http://localhost/mss selected. Click "Next>."

Now specify when the application will be updated. Leave the default value "Check for updates before application starts" selected. Click "Next>" then click "Finish" on the final wizard window.
