Your machine setup may require that you be logged in as an Administrator to install new software. If this is the case and you do not have Administrator privileges, consult your system administrator.
1. Go to http://www.doctohelp.com/download to download the latest version of Doc-To-Help. Save the .exe file to your computer.
2. Double-click the .exe file to launch the installer.
3. Follow the wizard to complete the installation.
4. Test the installation by creating a new project in Doc-To-Help. This test should be performed when logged in as the Doc-To-Help user. (If an administrator has performed the install, they should log out and log back in as the Doc-To-Help end user before performing the test.)
•Choose the File tab > New Project
•Choose the defaults in the New Project Wizard, and on the Select Source Content Type screen, choose Microsoft Word Document. (If you do not have Word installed, choose HTML5 or HTML document.)
•Do not modify the default content generated by Doc-To-Help.
•Close the open editor (Microsoft Word, Doc-To-Help’s built-in Content Editor, Microsoft FrontPage or Adobe Dreamweaver).
•After the project is created, click the Build Target button (on the Home tab of Doc-To-Help) and build the project. If it builds, the install was successful.
After a successful installation test, you should close Doc-To-Help, then reopen it to activate the license.
If you have an Internet connection, enter your serial
number when requested and Doc-To-Help will communicate with the activation
servers and activate your license for you. (You must have administrator rights
to activate Doc-To-Help.) If you do not have an Internet connection Doc-To-Help
will provide you with alternatives to automatic activation. For more information
see: Activating
Doc-To-Help.
Silent
Installation
Note: To install Doc-To-Help silently, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 must be already installed on those machines (because the automatic .NET Framework installation requires a restart).
Doc-To-Help supports all standard installer command line options for Windows, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa367988(v=vs.85).aspx
To install DocToHelp silently into a specific folder with log, use the following command:
"pathtexeifile" /qn /l*v "pathtologfile" INSTALLLOCATION="pathtofolder" /i
Note: The /i switch must be the last switch in the command line.
