3. System requirements
---------------------Please see the Active Library Explore - Data Sheet, page 2
(/product_info/data_sheet.pdf).
4. Using the CD
--------------When the CD is inserted in the drive, the setup.exe program is started
automatically. From this program is it possible to view the information
included on the CD, and to start the installation of Active Library
Explorer.
If the autorun feature is disabled on the PC, the setup program can be
manually started from the Windows File Explorer, or by selecting 'Run'
from the 'Start' menu. Write 'D:\setup.exe' and press 'OK' (please
substitute the appropriate drive letter for 'D', if necessary).
5. Viewing the libraries included in the delivery
------------------------------------------------If a Customer Product Information container file (an Active Library
Explorer library) is part of the delivery, it is included in the root
directory of the CD. The file is named *.alx.
5.1 Viewing directly from the CD
-------------------------------It is possible to use the pre-installed version of Active Library Explorer
for Windows, which is accessible from the setup menu, to browse the

libraries that are on the CD. Click on the "View library" button on the
first screen of the setup program.
This solution does not require any installation!
5.2 Installation of libraries included in the delivery
-----------------------------------------------------If you install Active Library Explorer for Windows on your PC, you
can access the libraries in the following ways:
* With Active Library Explorer for Windows it is possible to use the
library directly from the CD. Just specify 'D:\' as the library
directory in the Active Library Explorer 'Preferences' window
(please substitute the appropriate drive letter for 'D', if necessary).
* If you prefer to store the libraries on your hard disk or file server
you can take libraries into use by copying it to a disk directory that
is configured as a library directory in Active Library Explorer.
For details on how to configure Active Library Explorer to use a specific
disk directory, please refer to the Active Library Explorer Server
Installation Guide, or the Active Library Explorer for Windows on-line
help.
6. Installation of Active Library Explorer
-----------------------------------------6.1 Automatic setup program on Windows platforms
-----------------------------------------------When the CD is inserted in the drive, the setup.exe program is started
automatically. From this program is it possible to view the information
included on the CD, and to start the installation of Active Library
Explorer.
6.2 Installation directly from the CD
------------------------------------Active Library Explorer for Windows (ME/2000/XP):
Run the self-extracting installation file /alexwin/install.exe
and follow the instructions on the screen
Active Library Explorer Server on Windows:
Follow the instructions in the Active Library Explorer Server
Installation Guide /alexserv/win_nt/inst_guide_nt.pdf
Active Library Explorer Server on UNIX platforms:
Please see 'readme_unix.txt'
7. Note on Windows 2000 platform
-------------------------------7.1 Installation
----------------

Windows 2000 does not let the installation program update the registry,
unless the installation is done with administrator's rights.
The installation will still be OK, but the connection of the file type
".alx" to the Active Library Explorer will not be made. The
drawback of this is that double-clicking on a library file will not
automatically start up the Active Library Explorer.
7.2 Opening dialog or pop-up windows
-----------------------------------Windows 2000 does not always give focus to a new window opened from an
application. This means that the user has to click on the window to give
it the focus. In Active Library Explorer this concerns specifically the
Preferences, Annotation, and Help windows when they are opened by clicking
on a button in the Active Library Explorer toolbar. In some cases the
window may even be hidden behind the browser window. In general, it works
better with Internet Explorer than with Netscape Navigator, so from this
point of view Internet Explorer 5.x is the preferred browser on the
Windows 2000 platform.
8. Note on Netscape v6
---------------------Active Library Explorer for Windows supports Netscape v6 and has
been tested with versions 6.0, 6.1, 6.21.
