Installation Instructions

Make sure you Read and Follow these Installation Instructions, best is to print this page!

Overview

This page gives installation instructions for the MenuPlus components, making them appear in FrontPage's Insert / Component: Additional Components.

Before any add-on components can be used in FrontPage they must be installed.  Installation consists of copying the component files to the correct folders and then activating them (making them known to FrontPage).

The supplied Install program copies the files to their correct folders, but activation requires you to carry out a few simple manual steps. These are described below.

The FrontPage application must be closed before performing the installation (both Explorer and Editor if running FrontPage 98 or earlier).

Downloading and Installing

  1. Download the installation file to your computer.  The file is called MenuPsxx.exe, where xx is the version number.
     
  2. Double-click on the file to start the installation process.
     
  3. Click on the Setup button to run the Install program, then follow the instructions.

Activating

The components are activated as follows :

FrontPage 2000 & FrontPage 2002

Activation with FrontPage 2000 is very simple.  Just open a disk-based web and choose Recalculate Hyperlinks from the Tools menu.  MenuPlus components will then appear in the Additional Components dialog box (Insert | Component -> Additional Components)

FrontPage 98 / FrontPage 97

With these versions of FrontPage, a few more steps need to carried out to activate the components:

  1. Make sure the web server is installed and running.

    If you have not installed the Personal Web Server when installing FrontPage then install it now using the custom set-up options. FrontPage requires you to open the root web (which also requires the web server to be running) before activating the components.
  2. In FrontPage Explorer open an existing <root> web (for example, the personal web) or create a new root web.

    The <root> web is the FrontPage web that is provided by a Web server by default. To access the root web, you supply the URL of the server without specifying a page name or sub-web. FrontPage is installed with a root web named <Root web> or Personal Web. All FrontPage sub-webs are contained by the root web.

    The activation process will not work by opening a web on disk or a sub web of the server. It must be the <root> web in which case the web address will show something like http://fred:8080 (or http://fred) rather than c:\fred (which is a disc based web) or http://fred/myWeb (which is a sub web). However, once completed the components will become available for all webs on the disc.
  3. In FrontPage Explorer select the Tools | Recalculate Hyperlinks option.
  4. The web server can be disabled if not required any further.

Manual Installation

A small number of users have experienced problems when using earlier version of the installation program, the installation used to fail with an error message. These issues have all been fixed. Should you still encounter an installation issue, please contact MenuPlus support.

Upgrading

If you are upgrading components from a previous version then simply:

  1. Shut down the FrontPage application (both Explorer and Editor if using FrontPage 98 or earlier)
  2. Extract the files as detailed above and re-install, thus overwriting the previous version.  There is no need to perform component activation again.
