System Requirements

To run all the Publisher's Edition components, you must have the following minimum hardware and software:


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:

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:

  1. Do one of the following:
  1. 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.

  2. 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.)

  3. If you chose a custom setup:
  4. 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.
