License file in the application folder and if the license file does not exists then system will prompt for license
file location. You may continue under evaluation mode without providing the license file.
If you have purchased InstallAce then you shall have received the license file separately.
Issue: Error received 'Error reading from MSI file. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it' when you run the Setup.exe.
Please copy setup files in a different folder on local drive and try again.
