CrossWords Installation & Operation Guide
2.3.3.2.10 Step 10: Test the CrossWords Distribution
Run a test rollout to one or more user machines to make sure that all files are in place and that
CrossWords is functioning properly.
2.3.3.2.11 Step 11: Distribute the CrossWords Software
Under administrative privileges, run the CrossWords installer on each user’s workstation. If you
have not co-located the files shown in Step 9 with the Setup application or you are using some
other method (e.g., using Active Directory), then be sure to copy the appropriate files into the
appropriate locations.
2.3.4 Automating the CrossWords Setup
2.3.4.1

Preparing a SetupChoices.txt File, For Either the .EXE or the .MSI
Run the CROSSWORDS SETUP.EXE setup application on a target machine. Use all of the
choices you wish to enforce on the client machines. (NOTE: You must use the .exe version
of the setup because the .msi is always a silent installation.)
When the setup is complete, you will find a file named SETUPCHOICES.TXT in the all users
application data folder. In Windows Vista, this defaults to “C:\Program Data\Levit
& James, Inc\CrossWords” and in Windows XP/2000, this defaults to
“C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Levit &
James, Inc\CrossWords”.
2.3.4.2
Co-Locating Files
You may (and in most cases should) co-locate any of the following files in the folder which
contains the .msi or .exe:
•
•
•
•
•
SETUPCHOICES.TXT:
• If present, all of the options chosen during the example install will be used for the client
setup (including the target path, components, All Users, etc.)
• If absent, then a default install will occur.
LICENSE.INI
This is your license file. It will be located in the All Users Application Data folder.
CROSSWDS.INI
This is the primary configuration file for governing the behavior of CrossWords. Many
features and functions are triggered and/or controlled by setting specific values in this file. In
most cases, the default file will need to be adjusted to satisfy the specific needs of the
organization.
CWFONTS.TXT
This is the file specifying source and target replacement fonts for converted files. This is a
specification for a global font replacement; whereever CrossWords sees the source font, it
will replace it with the target font.
CWSEQLED.TXT
This is the file specifying leading text strings for special number recognition. It will be
located in the all users application data folder.
