Cab File installation

In order to install the webpart to the virtual server gallery, you will need to have access to the machine running Windows Sharepoint Services 2.0 or Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003.

1. Download the required .zip file from the above location
2. Unzip the .zip file to a temporary location. The zip file will contain a single .cab file, DocumentLibraryExplorer.cab
3. Open a console window
4. Change to the directory where the Sharepoint Administration tool, stsadm.exe is located.
   eg type:
    
   cd "\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\60\bin"
   
   
5. Use stsadm.exe to install the cab file to your virtual servers. Include the -globalinstall switch to install the assembly to the global assembly cache.
   
   stsadm -o addwppack -filename [pathtocabfile] -globalinstall
   
   
6. You will receive notification on whether installation was successful

License Installation

In order to install your license, you will need to edit the web.config in the root directory of your IIS Website running Windows Sharepoint Services 2.0 or Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003.

1. Open the web.config at the root of your Sharepoint site
2. Locate the <configuration><configSections> node in the xml
3. Insert the following text to create a new configuration section for Document Library Explorer
   
   <sectionGroup name="Lucas.WebParts">
      <section name="DocumentLibraryExplorer" type="System.Configuration.SingleTagSectionHandler, System, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"/>
</sectionGroup>
   
   
4. This step will depend on what type of license you are configuring:
   
   
   • If you are installing a trial version, insert the following code into the web.config <configuration> node
     
     <Lucas.WebParts>
      <DocumentLibraryExplorer LicenseType="Trial" LicenseKey="[YourLicenseKey]"/>
</Lucas.WebParts>
     
     Note: this should be placed underneath the configSections node
     
   • If you are installing a virtual server license, insert the following code into the web.config <configuration> node
     
     <Lucas.WebParts>
      <DocumentLibraryExplorer LicenseType= "Server"Hosts="[ListOfHosts]" LicenseKey="[YourLicenseKey]"/>
</Lucas.WebParts>
     
     In either case you will have received your license keys when you downloaded your trial version or purchased the license.
     
5. Save and close the web.config
