Example Screens from the IXgen Setup Script
Your screens will vary slightly, based on information specific to your machine.
The opening screen advises of the somewhat different
appearance of this installer, and why we chose this
approach.
Press enter to continue.
The installer searches for a current installation of
FrameMaker. If no FrameMaker installations are present,
setup will halt. If more than one FrameMaker is detected,
you’ll be given a selection list and asked to decide which
FrameMaker on this system should receive IXgen during
this installation.
Press enter to continue.
The User Profile facility added sometime back is discussed.
No IXgen users that we know of have made use of this
facility. And, when introduced, bugs were present. If you do
wish to use this facility, follow the directions in this screen to
move the API Client registration line to the maker.ini file in
the desired profile. Do this after the IXgen installation has
completed.
Press enter to continue.
The installer is now copying files from the download folder
and into their new home within the IXgen installation folders
that reside in the main FrameMaker folder. In this particular
installation, a previous run of the installer was detected by
the presence of a backup copy of ixgen.ini. This backup copy
will be overwritten unless you wish to save it (extremely rare
that you’d want or need to do so).
Press enter to continue.
The last few files are copied. You are reminded to download
the IXgen User’s Guide if you haven’t already done so. Also,
take a look at the ixgndemo.pdf (yes, this is the correct
name). This provides a guided demonstration of various
IXgen features.
The IXgen installation has completed without errors.
Press enter to continue.
General licensing information is included here, but the
presentation of this information is limited by this format.
It’s best to follow along in the “Licensing” section of the IXgen
Central page of this website.
Be sure to press enter to exit the installer. If you don’t, some
“housekeeping” needed for the IXgen installation might not
be properly completed.
