Clinic Writer: Install Instructions

Overview

This application uses a very simple XCopy deployment. This means you just have to unzip the install package in a folder on your computer. There is no setup or install program to run. After unzipping you may have to edit one or more configuration files as documented below. These files are in Xml format, and can be editted with a text editor.

System Prerequisites

Clinic Writer requires the following prerequisites:

• Microsoft Word. Generally, this application should work with most versions, however to date we have focussed our testing on Office 2002 and Office 2007
• Microsoft .Net Runtime 2.0 or greater. This version should be installed on most windows systems that get regular Microsoft updates.
• Sufficient disk space to create and archive documents.

Distribution File List

• McBean.Clinic.Writer.W10.exe
• McBean.Clinic.Writer.W10.exe.config
• Interop.Microsoft.Office.Core.dll
• Interop.VBIDE.dll
• Interop.Word.dll
• mcbean.clinic.lib.dll
• medtech.config
• fortress.config

The first file listed, McBean.Clinic.Writer.W10.exe, is the application program. You can create a shortcut for this program on the user's desktop. Make sure all the files are in the same folder, and that the "start in" property is set to the application folder. The configuration file McBean.Clinic.Writer.W10.exe.config has two important fields that must be set correctly. First, the location of the Word templates needs to be identified. Look for a section of Xml about halfway into the file that looks like this:

Set the template path between the value tags. The location of the templates usually goes on a mapped drive that all users can access.

Second, the type of files you want included in the application as available templates. This is determined by a list of file extensions. Look for a section of Xml that looks similar to this:

In this example files with the extension .dot and dotx will be used by the application. All other files in the folder will be ignored.
