Problem:
From the Installation Options screen, the IDE option is already checked and greyed out. It is not then possible to change the directory where to install Net Express.
Resolution:
This would imply either Net Express is already installed on the machine or a previous uninstall of Net Express was not properly completed.
If Net Express is already installed:
1. uninstall Net Express
2. make sure to retain the license
3. install Net Express
4. change the default directory for IDE to a new directory
If Net Express is not installed:
1. go to Start > Run
2. regedit<enter>
3. go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Micro Focus\\
4. delete the Net Express key (or subfolder if you prefer)
5. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Micro Focus\\
6. delete the Net Express key (or subfolder if you prefer)
7. start the Net Express install again
Note: the steps #3 through #6 can be combined in 2 steps ***IF*** there is no other Micro Focus products installed on this machine, and that would be to delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Micro Focus and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Micro Focus
