Security — Rights needed to install

The setup is designed to allow only users with administrator
rights to install to a server location or to install to a workstation.

Administrator rights are specific to the workstation. To run
either the administrator setup or the workstation install of
WordPerfect Office 11, you must be a member of the domain
administrator group for the domain you are managing or be a
local administrator .

Installation files

During the installation process, a series of files are referenced to
accomplish specific functions. These files include:

WPO11.msi

The WPO11.msi file contains all the required components and
registry keys. It also defines directories and shortcuts that need
to be installed. System administrators electing to set up using
the Microsoft MSI Installer can find the WPO11.msi in the
WPO 11 folder on CD 1 or at the root of the network install.

IsScript.msi

This file is a database that InstallShield® uses to add its setup
engines to the operating system. System administrators electing

2 WordPerfect Office 11 Network Administrator Guide

to use the InstallShield setup application can find IsScript.msi
within the WPO 11 folder on CD 1 or at the root of the
network install.

WPO11.SMS

WPO11.SMS is an administrator file used with Microsoft
Systems Management Server. System administrators electing to
install using the Microsoft Systems Management Server will
find the WPO11.SMS file in the WPO 11 folder on CD 1 or on
the root of the network install. For more information, see
"Systems Management Server" on page 19.

Instmsia.exe and Instmsiw.exe

To run the WordPerfect Office 11 setup, you require version 2
or later of the Microsoft Installer. If you are not running version
2 or later, one of the two files, Instmsia.exe or Instmsiw.exe, will
execute during the setup to update the installer. The file that
runs depends on which operating system you are using.

The Instmsia.exe file is designed for Windows 98 SE and
Windows Me, and Instmsiw.exe is designed for Windows NT 4,
Windows 2000, and Windows XP Professional.

In most cases, it is not necessary to run Instmsia.exe or
Instmsiw.exe in addition to the WordPerfect Office 11
setup. The install engine determines if an update is
needed. However, if you prefer, you can run the file on
systems prior to the WordPerfect Office 11 installation
to reduce setup time.

You need to run Instmsia.exe or Instmsiw.exe if you are
launching an installation with msiexec.exe.

Product updates

WordPerfect Office Update is an automatic feature that notifies
users of updates to WordPerfect Office 11, downloads the
updates, and installs them. WordPerfect Office Update operates
via the Web, so it requires an Internet connection.

When you install WordPerfect Office 11, you can set how often
WordPerfect Office Update checks for updates. If you prefer,
you can disable WordPerfect Office Update altogether by
choosing to never check for updates; in this case, you may also
want to take the added step of removing the WordPerfect Office
Update link from each workstation's Start menu.

About the WordPerfect Office 11 CDs

WordPerfect Office 11 Disc 1 contains all the installation and
most of the application files. These files are compressed.

• Windows NT 4 Server

• Windows 2000 Server

• Windows 2000 Advanced Server

However, simply copying the files from the CD to a network
does not constitute a valid server installation.

After successfully completing the network server installation,
you can access it to initiate the installation process to a
workstation.

Supported server operating systems

WordPerfect Office 11 is supported on the following server
operating systems:

• Novell 4

• Novell 5

• Novell 5.1

• Novell 6

Chapter 2: Installing to a server 5

General information and recommendations for
network installation

• Ensure the network file systems are running NWell or

NTFS partition. FAT and FAT32 are not supported.

• Choose a server folder that users have read-only access to,

and confirm that users have network access.

• Choose a server location that has enough free space.

Approximately 330 MB hard disk space for the WordPerfect
Office Standard Edition and 370 MB for the Professional
Edition is required for the network installation.

• Make sure the network operating system is operating with

the latest available release.

• You must have administrator privileges to use the network

setup.

• Limit the installation path to fewer than 90 characters.

• To change the server location of the WordPerfect Office 11

server image, you must access the network installation
program to create a new server installation. Simply copying
the files to the new location does not constitute a valid server
installation.

Running the network setup application

You can run the network setup application using msiexec.exe or
setup.exe. If you run msiexec.exe, you need to update the
following files: IsScript.msi, Instmsia.exe (Windows 98 SE and
Windows Me), and Instmsiw.exe (Windows NT 4, Windows
2000, and Windows XP Professional). If you run setup.exe, the
files are automatically updated for you.

Removing a server installation of
WordPerfect Office 11

There is no application to automatically remove WordPerfect
Office 11 from the server. Server installations must be removed
manually by the administrator.

Keep in mind the following:

• Once you have removed the server installation of

WordPerfect Office 11, the only way to reinstall it is using
the network setup application.

• When you remove a server installation, we recommend that

you remove all network-based workstation installations first.

• Make sure the applications to be removed and any associated

files are not currently in use.

Chapter 2: Installing to a server 7

Chapter 3: Installing to a workstation

Once you have installed WordPerfect Office 11 to a server, a
workstation installation must be performed on each system
where the application will run. Depending on the environment,
you may want to perform the installations using different
procedures. Users can access the setup application through the
network and perform their own workstation installations.

Preparing to install WordPerfect Office 11
to a workstation

To install WordPerfect Office 11 to a workstation, the user
should have read-only rights to access the installation files on
the server. Each workstation must meet the minimum
requirements listed on page 1.

It is a good practice to update the Microsoft Windows Installer
and the InstallShield scripting engine on each workstation prior
to installing WordPerfect Office 11. However, this step is not
mandatory; if necessary, the setup application will
automatically update the Microsoft Windows Installer, proceed

Chapter 3: Installing to a workstation 9

with the application installation, and then prompt the user to
restart the computer.

You must have administrator privileges on the
workstation to use the setup.

Run Instmsia.exe or Instmsiw.exe, and IsScript.exe on
each workstation to up date the in staller to version

2.00.2600.2. On ear lier op er at ing sys tems, this may
re duce ad min is tra tion dur ing the WordPerfect Office 11
in stal la tion. For in for ma tion on which in staller up date
to use, see “In stal la tion files” on page 3.

Before implementing the workstation installations, the
administrator should plan how the workstations will receive the
installation.

Users can run the setup application from their workstation and
choose their own installation options, interacting with the setup
application. Administrators can also use a command-line switch
to disable the user interface for the setup application and force
