Installation of Active Library Explorer------------------------------------------6.1 Automatic setup program on Windows platforms------------------------------------------------When the CD is inserted in the drive, the setup.exe program is startedautomatically. From this program is it possible to view the informationincluded on the CD, and to start the installation of Active LibraryExplorer.6.2 Installation directly from the CD-------------------------------------Active Library Explorer for Windows (ME/2000/XP): Run the self-extracting installation file /alexwin/install.exe and follow the instructions on the screenActive Library Explorer Server on Windows: Follow the instructions in the Active Library Explorer Server Installation Guide /alexserv/win_nt/inst_guide_nt.pdfActive Library Explorer Server on UNIX platforms: Please see 'readme_unix.txt'7. Note on Windows 2000 platform--------------------------------7.1 Installation----------------Windows 2000 does not let the installation program update the registry,unless the installation is done with administrator's rights.The installation will still be OK, but the connection of the file type".alx" to the Active Library Explorer will not be made. Thedrawback of this is that double-clicking on a library file will notautomatically start up the Active Library Explorer.7.2 Opening dialog or pop-up windows------------------------------------Windows 2000 does not always give focus to a new window opened from anapplication. This means that the user has to click on the window to giveit the focus. In Active Library Explorer this concerns specifically thePreferences, Annotation, and Help windows when they are opened by clickingon a button in the Active Library Explorer toolbar. In some cases thewindow may even be hidden behind the browser window. In general, it worksbetter with Internet Explorer than with Netscape Navigator, so from thispoint of view Internet Explorer 5.x is the preferred browser on theWindows 2000 platform.8. Note on Netscape v6----------------------Active Library Explorer for Windows supports Netscape v6 and hasbeen tested with versions 6.0, 6.1, 6.21.========================================================================== Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson 1997-2003 - All Rights Reserved==========================================================================
