Chapter 3 Installing AuthorIT 15
Default File Directory Structure
When you install the AuthorIT Desktop Edition, this default file directory structure is
created on your computer:
..Authorit
Backup
Data
Icons
Libraries
Templates
Base directory for all relative file
paths
Contains several sub‐folders for
different types of templates
Tutorial
Dictionaries
Hcw
Hhw
Contains several sub‐folders for
different Language dictionaries
WinHelp Compiler files
HTML Help Compiler files
JavaHelp
OracleHelp
Publishing
Published document outputs
Note: If you change the relative positions of the Library and the Templates folder
from AuthorITʹs default directory structure, you will also need to change relative file
paths (see ʺChanging Relative File Pathsʺ on page 37) in several AuthorIT objects.
Installing a Multi-user Edition
Installing a multi‐user edition is essentially a two stage process:
1) Installing the server‐based and administration components (see ʺStep 1 ‐
Installing the AuthorIT Server and Administration Componentsʺ on page 16):
Shared data files including JET Library databases and various templates are
installed on the server.
The AuthorIT Administrator program that you use to manage AuthorITʹs
user security and other settings is installed on the Administratorʹs computer.
2) Installing the AuthorIT program on each computer (see ʺStep 7 ‐ Install the Client
Components on Each Computerʺ on page 25), and pointing it to the shared Data
files on the server.
