INSTALLING ANTIOCH 2 AND 3 ON A NETWORK This information is intended for administrators of computer networks. Users of Windows 2000, XP, Vista or 7 on standalone computers should not need the information in it, as Antioch will install itself here without problems (though, as mentioned on the Antioch web page, in Vista and 7 you need to turn off User Account Control). Before installing Antioch 2 or 3, please check this list of file locations to make sure that all the folders are available. Some of the folders listed here are normally hidden, and are invisible until you go to Tools -- Folder Options -- View, and check 'View hidden files and folders'. FILE LOCATIONS File locations can be given only in a relative way, because there is no single fixed folder name. Everything must be retrieved from the registry; here Windows system folders are listed by the name 'dirid' followed by a number. The .nls files go to 'dirid 11', the system folder. Usually in Windows XP, Vista and 7 this is C:\Windows\System32, and in Windows 2000 it is C:\Winnt\System32. The help files go to 'dirid 18', the general Help folder, typically C:\Windows\Help or C:\Winnt\Help. The main template file (AnMain.dot for Antioch 2, AnMain.dotx for Antioch 3) goes to the Startup folder of the current version of MS Word. The only safe way to know what it is is to run the following VBA command: MsgBox Application.StartupPath For those who would like to understand why this is so complex, explanations can be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b210860 ... but even these omit some details. However, the user can control this in Word by clicking Tools -- Options -- File Locations and selecting something him/herself. If s/he wishes to do that, s/he should do it *before* installing Antioch and never change it afterwards (unless s/he carefully moves the .dot file(s) accordingly). And there is a known problem with this. The change is only taken into account if the user restarts Word: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B224667 The fonts (Vusillus italic and Zzblank) go to 'dirid 20', the Fonts folder, normally C:\Windows\Fonts or C:\Winnt\Fonts. All other files go to a subfolder (called 'Antioch') of what the registry says at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion, under "ProgramFilesDir". This is typically C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86). INSTALLATION For Antioch 2, download the installer from http://www.hancock.dircon.co.uk/antioch.htm -- it is called An2Setup.exe. For Antioch 3, download the installer from http://www.hancock.dircon.co.uk/antioch3.htm There are two versions, for 32- and 64-bit *Windows*, irrespective of whether you have 32- or 64-bit Office -- but remember that Antioch 3 is suitable only for Office 2007 or 2010. The files are called An3Win32.exe and An3Win64.exe. Log on to the network administrator's identity and install the program. (The installer needs full administrator's privileges to allow it to work.) Switch off User Account Control (with Control Panel -- [User Accounts and Family Safety --] User Accounts) and keep it switched off throughout the process of installation, setup and registration. When you are asked to restart the computer, it is sufficient to log off and then on again, without a full restart. In Word up to 2003, the installer is able to reset Word's macro security level to do its work. Normally it has no difficulty in resetting the level; after it has finished it leaves the level at medium, so that you can open documents with macros but get a warning about them. If for any reason the installer can't do this (maybe there is an extra level of security on your network), it will abort installation. You should then open Word, go to Tools -- Options -- Security -- Macro Security, set the level to low, and run the installer again. (It is safe to run the installer any number of times, it does not make duplicate files.) Word 2007 and 2010 have a much more severe protection against documents with macros, but normally it can be overcome by the Antioch installer, which designates the folder in which the document is put, normally C:\Program Files\Antioch, as a 'Trusted Location', so that the macros are accepted as safe. If for any reason this does not work, when you install the program and the Word document appears, you will see a warning at the top of the page telling you that macros in the document have been disabled. Click on the 'Configure' button on the warning bar and choose 'Enable this content' to proceed; after you click on OK the document will close automatically and installation will complete. Once Antioch is satisfactorily installed and working, find the main template file Anmain.dot, which is in Word's Startup folder. In Word 2002 or 2003 this is C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup. If you can't find this, look in Word at Tools -- Options -- File Locations to see where the Startup folder is. In Word 2007 and 2010, the Startup folder is at C:\Users\[your name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP. Note that Application Data and AppData are hidden folders and in the folder window you have to go to Tools -- Folder Options -- View and set the view to include hidden and system files before they will be visible and accessible. Having found AnMain.dot or AnMain.dotx, copy it to the Startup folder of each of the users on the network. You must select a keyboard layout before Antioch will work properly (Greek -- Preferences -- Keyboard). Please make a selection for all four areas of the keyboard, even if you want them to have their normal function. You need to tell users not to change the keyboard layout you have selected, because this is stored in a single file and changing it will affect all the other users. (In a future version of Antioch, we shall use separate layout files for each user.) Ralph Hancock 17 September 2012
