Initial Install

Initial installation instructions

If this is not your first install of DITA2Go, or if you already have Mif2Go 4.0 or later installed, go directly to the instructions in the next section; do not use these instructions!

1. If this is your first install, create a new "home folder" for Omni Systems software products.
   Note: Make sure the path to the folder does not contain spaces! Example: "C:\omsys". Do not install under Program Files!
2. Download d2g_full_04.zip to your Omni Systems home folder.
3. Extract all files from d2g_full_04.zip, allowing the process to create subfolders.
   Note: A few stub .ini files may not extract; just ignore any errors from them. If the zip utility puts the extracted files in a directory named after the zip, move them up one level so they are directly under the home folder; for example, C:\omsys\common, not C:\omsys\d2g_full_04\common.
4. Double-click d2g\usersguide\ugdita2go.chm to open the DITA2Go User's Guide.
   Note: If you can see the contents pane, but the topic pane remains empty, the cure is simple. In Explorer, right-click on the CHM, select Properties, and click on the Unblock button at the bottom; it turns gray, then click Apply, then OK. After that, if you double-click the CHM, it opens fine. If you right-click on Properties again, the whole bottom part where the Unblock button was is blank.
5. Follow the rest of the installation instructions in par. 1.3, "What you need to do".

Update Install

Update installation instructions

If this is your first install, use the instructions in the section above for initial install; do not use these instructions! If you already have Mif2Go 4.0 or later installed, but not DITA2Go, download d2g_addon_04.zip above, and proceed as described for d2g_update_04.zip, but using d2g_addon_04.zip instead.

1. Download d2g_update_04.zip to your existing Omni Systems home folder. Do not create a new one.
2. Extract all files from d2g_update_04.zip, allowing the process to overwrite files, to merge content into existing folders, and to create subfolders.
   Note: If the zip utility puts the extracted files in a directory named after the zip, move them up one level so they are directly under the home folder; for example, C:\omsys\common, not C:\omsys\d2g_update_04\common.
3. Double-click d2g\usersguide\ugdita2go.chm to open the DITA2Go User's Guide.
   Note: If you can see the contents pane, but the topic pane remains empty, the cure is simple. In Explorer, right-click on the CHM, select Properties, and click on the Unblock button at the bottom; it turns gray, then click Apply, then OK. After that, if you double-click the CHM, it opens fine. If you right-click on Properties again, the whole bottom part where the Unblock button was is blank.
4. Follow the rest of the update instructions in par. 1.4, "How to update DITA2Go".
