------------------------------------

Hey Jim, 

I just had an idea I wanted to share with you. 

Would it be possible to perhaps place a note in the installer screen (thinking maybe in a side column that could be labeled 'tips' or something) that mentions how to select the correct path for the runtime instead of only an error message?

I was thinking that it is good to tell someone they have done something wrong, but we have an opportunity here to give them the information before they make the mistake to begin with, which might be another avenue to consider.

> It would be nice when selecting for example an existing SOA-P install to have available in the server view, a way to validate what I have selected is correct.  For example I was selecting /jboss-soa-p.4.3.0/jboss-as and it should have been /jboss-soa-p.4.3.0 instead.  It would be nice if some validation could be done and the next button would be greyed out not active unless the expected correct path was selected.  I am not sure if the path should be /jboss-soa-p.4.3.0/jboss-as or /jboss-soa-p.4.3.0 but part of me thinks this should be /jboss-soa-p.4.3.0/jboss-as and not the way it is today.
