1.3.4 Make Omni Systems executables accessible

Starting with DITA2Go version 4.0, all Omni Systems executables are located in the following directory:

%omsyshome%\common\bin

Make sure you add this directory to your system PATH; see §1.3.1 Set up a framework for Omni Systems applications.

Old Mif2Go files

If you have Mif2Go version 3.3 installed on your system (even the evaluation version), do the following:

  1. Move drmif.dll from your Windows system directory to your new Omni Systems executables directory, %omsyshome%\common\bin (see § Create an Omni Systems environment variable).
  2. Delete from your Windows system directory (\windows\system32 or, for 64-bit systems, \windows\SysWOW64) the following Mif2Go components, for which there are new versions that work for both Mif2Go and DITA2Go:
    dcl.exe
    dwrtf.dll
    dwhtm.dll
    dwinf.dll
    dwinf.dll
    libexpat.dll
    

    Note:  If you leave the old files in the system directory, Windows will use them instead of your new DITA2Go executables, and you will wonder why DITA2Go does not work as expected.

Automated build systems

If you have been using automated build systems for DITA2Go that rely on finding executables in the Windows system directory, you have two choices:
