Installing ExcelWriter
Upgrading to a New Version of ExcelWriter
If you are upgrading to a new version of ExcelWriter before installing the new version,
remove the old version.
Automatic Installation
To run the automatic installation, double-click OfficeWriter-3.x.x-Win.exe, and follow the InstallShield
instructions. The automatic installation will:
- Unpack ExcelWriter files to C:\Program Files\SoftArtisans\OfficeWriter\ExcelWriter,
or a location you selected during installation,
- Register SAXW6COM.dll, and
- Create a virtual directory called OfficeWriter\ExcelWriter, containing documentation and samples.
During the automatic installation process you will be asked to
enter the ExcelWriter license key that you received with your order
confirmation. To see
all OfficeWriter license keys installed in the registry, or to add or remove a
key (for example, when upgrading) run LicenseManager.exe (included with
ExcelWriter).
When you install ExcelWriter, you will also be given the option to install
WordWriter . If your license key
is only for ExcelWriter, and you choose to install WordWriter as well, a free limited
version of WordWriter will be installed. If you ordered an evaluation or full
version of the whole OfficeWriter suite, you will receive one OfficeWriter key which will
unlock both products.
When you update a license key, IIS must be reset
before the new license will take effect.
