dialog box displays prompting for a Drive and Path name.

NOTE The default, product library name is MKSIM. If you changed the product
library to another name, substitute the changed name for MKSIM.
4 Make sure the Reconnect at Logon box is not enabled, and click OK. You may be
prompted for a user ID and password to connect to the system.
5 From Windows Explorer, select and expand the drive you just mapped.

directory is:
C:/Program Files/MKS/Implementer/DTBridge
