The next screen allows you to customize your installation. It is recommended that you install all components unless already installed. The third party software included with AHAS includes a ''Visual C++'' (''VC++'') redistributable package and the ''Sentinel'' USB dongle driver. If you have ''RoboticsLab'' installed, both the VC++ package and the USB dongle driver are likely to have already been installed. If you do not uncheck these options on this configuration screen, you will be given the opportunity on the following two screens of the AHAS installer.
