If autoplay on the computer is enabled and allows the autorun feature to launch
automatically, you will be taken directly to Installer. Autorun is turned off by default
on Windows Vista and 7 but Autoplay knows how to produce a window upon drive
insertion that should give the user some options for what to do. The exact behavior
can vary based on configuration of the PC.
1. If autorun is disabled and autoplay requires you to select which action to take
b. Select eDTR™ and click the OK button on XP and simply click the
icon on Vista or 7.
2. If autoplay doesn’t automatically display the window above, you will need to
launch the eDTR™ manually from Windows Explorer.
a. Go to Start, My Computer
b. Double click the appropriate Removable Drive where you see the
eDTR™ to open it.
If the autorun feature is not allowed to execute, you will be taken to window
where you can view the contents of the drive instead that will look similar to
this:
1. Click the button “Install on PC” to continue with installing the eDTR™.
2. You will be taken to the eDTR™ Setup Wizard which will guide you through the
remainder of the installation process.
Note: The visual appearance and behavior of the eDTR™ Setup Wizard and
other eDTR™ windows are for the most part nearly identical between
Windows XP, Vista, and 7 so each platform will not be shown unless there is a
difference worth noting.
4. Decide if desktop icon should be created and click the Next button.
6. The installation process will take a few minutes to install all of the contents
7. When you see this screen, the installation of the software and catalog contents
have been installed. If you wish to continue from here directly to registering and
activating the new installation, leave Launch eDTR™ checked.
2. The end user for the new eDTR™ installation should enter all of their
information. The Activation button will not be enabled until all fields are entered.
The email address used needs to be a valid email address so that the activation
email can be sent to the user.
Note: The previous steps for the registration process will be able to save the entered
information if there is no Internet connection available, however the user will not be
able to activate the software. There must be an Internet connection so the activation
process can continue. The eDTR™ software cannot be used until it is properly
activated.
1. Within a few minutes, you should receive an email like the one below.
2. Clicking the link in the email (or copying pasting the link into your web
browser directly) will produce an activation page like the one below.
3. If you clicked the link and received the activation page through your web
browser, you can then proceed by clicking the Verify Activation button.
Optional If you entered the code from the email, click the Activate button to continue.
4. When the activation is complete, you will receive the following dialog box.
5. To continue at this point to use the eDTR™, click the Restart button. This
is only to restart the eDTR™, not your computer. Otherwise you can click
Close to end.
1. To run the eDTR™ from the All Programs Menu, select Swagelok. eDTR™
Selecting the eDTR™ menu item should launch the eDTR™ and you should see the
main interface if a valid PDF viewer is installed and configured correctly for the
eDTR™.
2. To verify the eDTR™ registration information is now saved with the installation as
expected, click the About menu item in the top menu bar.
If you are able to see information in the about page similar to this, then everything
should be installed and working correctly and the installation process is complete.
If when you try to verify the eDTR™ installation by launching it from the start menu
icon, the PC does not have a valid PDF Viewer installed, you will see a dialog box
Dialog boxes that appear to be incorrectly sized as you see in the examples below,
are a result of your computer’s DPI setting being set to something other than 96 DPI
(which is the default).
eDTR™ will be updated soon to accommodate the various DPI settings without a
need to change anything on the computer. For now, you can change this DPI setting
on your computer to resolve the issue.
After making the change to 96 DPI or “Smaller”, you will need to click Ok, then Ok
on the Display Properties form. A restart of your computer will also be needed for the
change to take affect.
eDTR™ will function over HTTP protocol and through a company’s proxy server so
long as that proxy server doesn’t require specific authentication / credentials.
At this time, unless the company’s IT department allows traffic across HTTP port
through a proxy server without specific authorization requirement, the activation
process cannot continue.
The ability for eDTR™ to accept and provide user credentials and proxy server
configuration information will be coming in a near future release.
Some antivirus software, namely Microsoft Security Essentials, will complain about a
file it finds as part of the eDTR™ installation. This file is autorun.inf and it is only
used at the time when the user inserts the drive as a convenient helper to provide the
user with an autoplay capability.
The person installing or using the eDTR™ or the company’s IT contact may come
across a warning from Microsoft Security Essentials (or other software) that this file is
considered a problem and will respond with removing the file.
It is OK to allow this file to be deleted. It will not affect the usage of the eDTR™.
This conflict may also show up during the installation procedure when the files are
being copied and a popup message asking how to handle will show up. There should
be a button for ‘Ignore’. Choose ‘Ignore’ and allow the installation to continue.
You may see messages like this as well regarding permission to write this file on
installation:
Just choose ‘Skip’ if you see this message. You don’t need to install this file.
If the file was not skipped and Microsoft Security Essentials caught the file and is
waiting for a decision to be made, you will see this message in the lower right corner
of the desktop:
The next release of eDTR™ will not attempt to copy this file to the installation and
this issue will go away.
The current release of the eDTR™ does not allow the installer to select a custom
installation location. This will be an option available in a new future release.
