Installation Notes ------------------ Imaging for Windows 2.7 installs in its own directory. Silent mode installs exists for the base Imaging for Windows component. If setup.exe is invoked with the "-s" switch, the install will execute without prompting the user. WMS Imaging software is not supplied with Imaging for Windows. However, Imaging for Windows may access WMS Imaging data if the WMS Imaging Client Components are Installed on the system. If only minimal WMS Imaging functionality is required, running i4wsupp.exe from the WMS Imaging CD is sufficient for Imaging for Windows. Imaging for Windows 2.7 works with WMS Imaging Client Version 4.0 and later. If Imaging for Windows is installed over Imaging Professional, changes made to the Standard OCR training file (standard.trn) are lost by default. Imaging Standard does not support OCR functionality. To retain the Standard training file for future Imaging Professional usage, copy or rename the standard training file before installing Imaging Standard. After installing Imaging Professional, copy the previously saved standard training file into the Imaging directory. Changes made to custom training files are retained. User-defined defaults for Imaging for Windows are lost when installing new versions of Imaging for Windows. If the user has defined rubber stamps, for example, they are lost and must be recreated in Imaging for Windows. The Setup program may underestimate the amount of space available if you choose to install Imaging for Windows on a Novell NetWare drive. Upgrading a Windows 98 system with Imaging for Windows installed to Windows 2000, requires a re-installation of Imaging for Windows. Some components may appear to operate, but some of the Imaging for Windows functionality is inaccessible.
