Run FIN FrameworkV1.0.7 as a Windows Service: this is checked by default and if checked, will install FIN as a Windows Service (it will appear as "FIN_Framework5 service" in the Services app)
Run on 64bit JVM: this is only optional if the machine has Java 64bit installed and runs on Java Virtual Machine on 64bit. If the user has OpenJDK installed, it would be grade out.

If the user selects an invalid license, they'll get the below prompt that their license does not support that particular version. This can mean that the user selected an expired license or expired maintenance. They will need to contact their distributor/OEM to get a new upgraded license.

The next pop up will allow the user to select the name of the folder that will be created in the Start Menu and hit install. If the user prefers not to create a folder in the Start Menu, they can check the "Do not create shortcuts" option.
