Server-Side OfficeWriter
Automatic
The OfficeWriter 8 installer is available in 64-bit (OfficeWriter-Installer-8.#.#-x64.msi) and 32-bit (OfficeWriter-Installer-8.#.#-x86.msi). There is only one installer which handles installing any OfficeWriter components (including ExcelWriter, WordWriter, and SSRS integration).
1. Welcome Screen
Double click the msi to begin installing OfficeWriter for .NET:
Note: If you have a previous version of OfficeWriter installed, you may be prompted to upgrade or remove the existing version of OfficeWriter. We recommend that you follow the steps to remove the previous version of OfficeWriter before continuing with your installation.
Click Next.
2. End-User License Agreement
Read the End-User License Agreement and click Next when finished.
Click Next.
3. OfficeWriter License Key
You will be prompted for a license key. Enter a license key into the box and click Check Key.
The installer will confirm what edition (Standard or Enterprise) the license key is. Once the license key is verified, the Next button will be enabled.
4. Custom Setup
You will need to select the components to install. To include or exclude any components from your installation, click on the drop-down next to the component.
5. Destination Folder
The destination folder is where the OfficeWriter assemblies and utilities will be unpacked. By default, the destination folder will be C:\Program Files\SoftArtisans\OfficeWriter.
6. Reporting Services Integration
The installer will attempt to locate any instances of SQL Server Reporting Services on the machine. Select the installation to add OfficeWriter to.
You will also be given the option to unpack the OfficeWriter Designer installer to the destination folder. This is recommended.
7. Ready to install
The OfficeWriter installer requires administrative privileges to write the license key to the registry. You will be prompted for administrative credentials before the installation begins.
Click Install to start the installation. This will:
