The procedure also writes all the Registry entries that the application requires to your local Registry. However, you might want to install the application files on a network drive for a number of reasons---for example, if the network is backed up regularly, or if the local drive is low on available space. For better performance, Compaq recommends that you install on a local drive.

4 Stopping and Restarting the Installation
If you click Cancel in the course of an installation, a message is displayed indicating that your installation is incomplete. What you do next depends on whether your network bindings are complete:
For large-memory configurations, you might want to increase the heap sizes of the application for better performance. However, the default values are adequate for most installations.
To modify the memory allocation pool (heap) values for the Availability Manager on Windows systems, you must modify the minimum and maximum heap default values in the Availability Manager shortcut command. (The shortcut value is stored in the Programs folder of the Start Menu folder.)
