1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs including executable instructions to cause a computer to perform a method of controlling an information processing apparatus including a communication unit communicable with an external apparatus, the method comprising:
receiving first information indicating a setup state of the external apparatus, transmitted from the external apparatus;
acquiring second information concerning a setting of the information processing apparatus, wherein the second information is information which has been set in the information processing apparatus before the first information is received;
in a case where it is determined that the received first information indicates a first setup state, performing display processing to display, on a display of the information processing apparatus, guidance content for providing guidance for a setup of the external apparatus corresponding to the first setup state;
in a case where it is determined that the received first information indicates a second setup state different from the first setup state, performing automatic transmission processing to transmit a setting value corresponding to the acquired second information to the external apparatus corresponding to the second setup state, without accepting a selection operation of a setting value from a user,
wherein, in a case where the transmitted setting value corresponding to the second information is set in the external apparatus, a setup state of the external apparatus is changed, and the first information corresponding to the changed setup state is received from the external apparatus, the display processing or the automatic transmission processing corresponding to the received first information is performed.
