Upgrading editor extensions on Contenta Web clients

How to upgrade the Contenta editor extensions on Contenta Web clients.

Before you begin

  • Ensure that latest compatible version of Contenta (including Service Packs) is installed and functioning properly before beginning the upgrade. For more information, see the Contenta upgrade documentation.
  • We recommend you install or upgrade editor software (Arbortext Editor, Oxygen XML Author, or FrameMaker) on the client before you begin the Contenta S1000D upgrade. Consult the platform requirements for supported versions of editor software. If you install or upgrade Arbortext Editor or Oxygen XML Author after upgrading Contenta S1000D, or if the Contenta S1000D installation program failed to configure these editors, post-installation configuration is required. See Configuring Contenta S1000D Web clients to run Arbortext or Oxygen XML editors.

About this task

Procedure

  1. Log on to the client as the Administrator user or a user with administrator privileges.

    To mount an ISO file, you can use Windows to extract the ISO to the file system or use a third‐party tool to mount the ISO as a disk.
  3. Navigate to the editor folder.
  4. Run the installation program using one of these methods:
    • For interactive mode, launch install.exe in the Windows folder.

      A pre-installer screen appears.

  6. When you have finished installing the editor extensions, restart the system.

    4. Select OK.

What to do next

  • Ensure that your browser configuration allows pop-ups. Many Contenta Web tools require pop-ups.
  • If you installed Arbortext Editor or Oxygen XML Author after installing Contenta, or if the Contenta installation program failed to configure these editors, post-installation configuration is required.
