System
Requirements
To
run all the Publisher's Edition components, you must have the following minimum
hardware and software:
- Windows 98, Me, NT,
2000, or XP.
Note: This version of Publisher's Edition uses the Windows Installer
that ships with Windows 2000. On older operating systems, setup may fail with
a message that the installer cannot be found. In that case you can download
the installer from Microsoft's web site:
- Internet Explorer 4.01,
SP1 or later.
Note: If you want to use the optional HTML editor for creating summaries,
Internet Explorer 5.0 or later is required.
- A Pentium-class processor.
- At least 16 MB of available
RAM after all normal system resources are loaded.
- 85 MB of available disk
space for the software. Data files will need more space, depending on their
size.
Installation
The Publisher's Edition
setup program creates a program group called Publisher's Edition inside a Beyond
2020 program group in your computer's start menu. By default it installs the
following to your hard drive:
- Beyond 20/20 Visual Builder
- Beyond 20/20 Professional
Browser and Publication
Browser
- Beyond 20/20 Footnote
Loader
- Beyond 20/20 Distributor
- Documentation files
The default setup location
is C:\Program Files\Beyond 2020\Publisher's Edition.
Installing Publisher's
Edition
Note: If you downloaded
the Publisher's Edition from Beyond 20/20's website, first double-click it to
extract the compressed files. You will need a password.
To install the Publisher's
Edition on a local computer:
- Do one of the following:
- Using Windows Explorer,
locate setup.exe on your Beyond 20/20 installation CD-ROM or in your installation
folder and double-click it.
- In Control Panel,
double-click Add/Remove Programs and then click Install.
You will be prompted to insert your Beyond 20/20 CD-ROM.
If there is a previous version of the Publisher's Edition on your computer,
you will be asked if you want to upgrade. Click Yes to continue.
Upgrading overwrites the old version.
- Read and accept
the licence agreement. If you do not accept the agreement you will not be
able to proceed with the installation. Then click Next.
- Choose a setup type,
either Complete or Custom, and then click Next. (If you
want to be able to change any settings, such as the install location, choose
Custom.)
- If you chose a custom
setup:
- To change the default
set of program features, click the program icons and choose the options
you want.
- To change the setup
location, click Change and enter or choose a new location. (If
the location doesn't exist the installer will create it.)
- Click Next, and
then click Install.
Click Cancel if you want to halt the installation and roll your computer
back to the state it was in before you started.
The installer places icons in a Publisher's Edition program group inside a
Beyond 2020 group in your computer's start menu.
Creating a
customized Distributor installation
The Beyond 20/20 Distributor
enables you to create data-distribution packages that include Beyond 20/20 Browser
software as well as your data files. It is installed automatically along with
Publisher's Edition. To start the Distributor, click its icon in the Publisher's
Edition program group of your Windows start menu.
Each Distributor screen
includes brief instructions on how to proceed. For more information, you can
click the Help button on any screen.
If you want to create a
customized installer for use by your Browser end-users, you can use the TRANSFORMS
option in the command line to select a language for the installation.
- A Transform is an MST
file that temporarily modifies the behavior of an installation package (an
MSI file). The Distributor includes the following MST files:
- 1033.mst = English
- 1034.mst = Spanish
- 1036.mst = French
- Use the following syntax
to invoke the TRANSFORMS option:
"<Path>BrowserProductName.msi" TRANSFORMS="<Path>{1033.mst
| 1034.mst | 1036.mst}"
- Note: End-users
must have an up-to-date version of Windows Installer on their computers. If
necessary, you can distribute the Installer setup files:
- instmsia.exe - for
Windows 9x
- instmsiw.exe - for
Windows NT
Known Issues
- Different colors than
earlier versions. Version
7 uses a new color pallette for the user interface. If you prefer to use your
old colors you can customize the interface, as follows:
- To change the background
colors, open the Window menu and choose Preferences. Make your selections
and click OK. Your settings will be saved as the default.
- To change map colors,
right-click in a map view and choose Map Options. Make your selections
and click on Save As Default.
- To change chart colors,
double-click on a color area and make your selection. Then right-click
in the chart view and choose Chart Options. (Note:
Chart colors cannot be saved.)
- Windows 98, ME.
Exception 10H when printing certain files on certain printers. This
happens very rarely, and it is a known Microsoft issue.
- Solution: Use a different
printer, or else install a different printer driver. For
more information, search the Microsoft Knowledge Base for Exception 10H.
- Summary Editor installs
MS Outlook. When
you first run the Summary Editor in Beyond 20/20 Visual Builder or Professional
Browser, Windows Installer attempts to install MS Outlook 2000. This
occurs when MS Office 2000 is installed and MS Outlook is configured to install
"at first use." It
is caused by the fact that the Summary Editor and MS Outlook share a common
system control.
- Solution: Allow the
MS Outlook installer to run. It will only do this the first time you use
the Summary Editor, and it only installs a few Outlook components - not
the entire application.
