1.3.4 Make Omni Systems executables accessible

Starting with Mif2Go version 4.0, all Omni Systems executables except the FrameMaker plug-ins are located in the following directory:

%omsyshome%\common\bin

Make sure you add this directory to your system PATH; see §1.3.1 Set up a framework for Omni Systems applications.

Old Mif2Go files

Delete from your Windows system directory (\windows\system32 or, for 64-bit systems, \windows\SysWOW64) the following Mif2Go components, for which there are new versions:

dcl.exe

drmif.dll

dwrtf.dll

dwhtm.dll

dwinf.dll

libexpat.dll

Note:  If you leave the old files in the system directory, Windows will use them instead of your new executables, and you will wonder why Mif2Go does not work as expected.

Automated build systems

If you have been using automated build systems for Mif2Go that rely on finding executables in the Windows system directory, you have two choices:

• Change your scripts to access %omsyshome%\common\bin instead; this is the preferred method.

• Every time you update Mif2Go, copy all the new executables from %omsyshome%\common\bin to the Windows system directory.

Next, if you plan to produce on-line Help or ebook formats, §1.3.5 Obtain tools for Help systems or eBooks; otherwise, §1.3.6 Establish system-wide configuration settings.
