Installation
Synkronizer 10 is a COM add-in for 32-bit versions of Excel 2010 (32 bit), 2007, 2003 and XP.
It works on 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Windows (XP thru Win7) if you install 32 bit Office/Excel.
Synkronizer 10 does NOT work with the 64 bit version of Excel 2010.
In order to install the application proceed as follows:
| 1. | Download the latest version of Synkronizer. |
| 2. | Log-in to Windows using an account with administrator rights |
| 3. | Double-click the installation file SetupSynkronizer.10.X.xxx.exe |
| 4. | Follow the instructions... |
| 5. | Done. |
| • | Start Excel 2010/2007: You'll find the Synkronizer 10 icon in the "Review" tab |
| • | Start Excel 2003/2002(XP): You'll find the Synkronizer 10 icon in the "Tools" menu |
Type of installations
There are three different installation methods:
| • | Standard Installation This installation method is used for single-user licenses. |
| • | Network Installation Standard Installation PLUS a shortcut to a shared network license file. Only for users/companies who purchased a special NETWORK LICENSE KEY. This installation is designed for corporate networks. Workstations need PERMANENT access to the license data which is stored on the network share. During the installation you will be asked to specify TWO directories: the INSTALLATION directory where the program files will be installed. (preferably on the local disk). the NETWORK directory where the license file is located. This MUST be an existing directory. An empty license file will be copied here when it doesn't exist. (a shortcut to the network license file will be placed in the installation folder). |
| • | Administrative Installation Standard Installation PLUS a shortcut to a shared license distribution file. Only for users/companies who purchased a MULTI-USER LICENSE KEY. This installation method is designed for system administrators in companies which have multi-user licenses. Workstations need ONETIME access to obtain registration data which is then stored on the local disk. During the installation you will be asked to specify TWO directories: the INSTALLATION directory where the program files will be installed. the DISTRIBUTION directory where the license distribution files are located. This MUST be an existing directory. Empty license distribution files will be copied here when they don't exist. (a shortcut to the distribution folder will be placed in the installation folder). |
| • | Scripted Installations the setup executable accepts command line switches for use in scripted installations or batch files. The syntax is described in this chapter. |
Administrator Rights
The user who performs the installation MUST have administrator privileges.
Network Installation
The user who performs the installation MUST have administrator privileges.
The user who registers and activates the license and/or wants to add/remove nodes(workstations) must have WRITE/MODIFY permission to the license file on the network share.
if the workstation is already registered in the file the user for that computer needs READ permission to the license file on the share.
Administrative Installation
The user who performs the installation MUST have administrator privileges.
The user who maintains the License distribution files must have WRITE/MODIFY permissions to files on the network share.
The user of the local computer needs READ permission to the license distribution file on the share.
Problems
Setup should run without problems. However the infamous "User Account Control" does make life difficult in some cases.
If you are on a corporate network, go to your administrator. If you are on a home PC or laptop and setup doesn't complete as expected, or synkronizer reports "initialization" errors on startup, some "manual" work may be required.
Dependencies
Synkronizer setup assumes the VB6 runtimes are installed. These are pre installed on Vista and Windows7, but could be missing on (older) Windows XP installations.
If not installed you'll find them here: Search Microsoft.com
Synkronizer setup installs some Dll's and Ocx files to the install directory, which it attempts to register with RegSvr32. RegSvr32 may fail if your login account doesn't have Administrator Privileges, or if "User Account Control" in Win7/Vista prevents access. We need to open a "console" with admin rights.. To do that we must create a shortcut to cmd.exe with some extras.
| • | Right-click the desktop. Select menu New. Select menu Shortcut. Type cmd.exe. Follow instruction and the shortcut is created. |
| • | Right-click the shortcut. Select menu Properties. Select tab Shortcut. Select the button Advanced. Check Run As Administrator. Click OK twice to close the dialog. |
| • | Now double-click the shortcut. You should get a warning from User Account control. You must accept. |
| • | Navigate to your installation directory and use regsvr32 to "register" the files. |
