NOTE
If the IVI Shared Components and VISA Shared Components are not already
installed on your PC, Keysight IO Libraries Suite installs them in the standard,
default locations. If the IVI Shared Components and VISA Shared Components
are already installed, the Keysight IO Libraries Suite installer will upgrade them
to the latest version, using the same installation location used by the older
version. If this is a first-time installation, you will be able to select installation
locations for these components by choosing a Custom Installation.
