Prerequisites and installation notes:
•Verify the System Requirements. (See System Requirements.)
•Close Microsoft® Word before beginning Doc-To-Help installation. Microsoft® Outlook should also be closed if Microsoft Word is your default email editor.
•Turn off your anti-virus software. (You can turn it back on after installation is complete, although you may need to modify it later. See Using Anti-virus Software with Doc-To-Help.)
•If you have projects, templates, and style sheets from existing Doc-To-Help projects, it is recommended that you back up those files before installing Doc-To-Help.
•To install Doc-To-Help, you must have administrative privileges.
•Doc-To-Help requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0, and will install it for you automatically if it is not found during installation. If Doc-To-Help installs the .NET Framework, you may be required to restart your machine before continuing the Doc-To-Help install. After the restart, you must log in as the same user who began the install, or the installation won't continue.
•Silent installs of Doc-To-Help are supported.
System Administrators: If you are a system administrator installing Doc-To-Help for another user, please note that Doc-To-Help uses Templates and Themes that are installed by default to specific folders. If the user does not have permissions to use or update these folders, they will have issues using Doc-To-Help. In order to ensure that the user will have no issues, please test the installation after it is performed. See Step 4 in the Installation Instructions for details. For information about where Doc-To-Help stores Templates and Themes during installation, see File Locations.

•After upgrading, when you open an existing project, Doc-To-Help will notify you that the project will be upgraded to the new version. Click OK to accept. Use the Rebuild Target button (on the Home tab of Doc-To-Help) the first time you build the project in the new version.
•If you are moving your copy of Doc-To-Help from the computer it is currently installed on to another computer, you must deactivate the license and uninstall it before beginning the new installation. See Deactivating Doc-To-Help for instructions.
