Automatic Installation

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 (available in 32 or 64 bit) which handles installing any OfficeWriter components (including ExcelWriter, WordWriter, and SSRS integration). To run the installer for the OfficeWriter SSRS integration, follow THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

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.

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.

The components that are available for installation are based on the license key that was provided earlier. If you run the installer on a machine that has SQL Server Reporting Services installed, the installer will make the SSRS integration available.
