Installation Step by Step
Unblocking the ZIP File
After downloading the ZIP File it is usually marked so as to display a Security Warning before executing any Application. To avoid this, make sure to edit its Properties and remove the Windows Internet Block Marker before unpacking and starting Spoc-Web. You can also remove this Marker on the individual unzipped Files later but removing it on the entire ZIP File is easier. Just remember: Spoc-Web and Spoc-Text do NOT modify anything on Your Computer except in its Folder and the Spoc-Web Databases You edit.
To unblock the Zip File...
- Right-Click on the ZIP File to open the Context Menu
- choose "Properties" to open the Properties Dialog
- Click on the "Unblock" Button at the Bottom of the first Tab of the Properties Dialog
- Then Close the Dialog with OK. You can now unzip the File and all contained Files will be unblocked.
Unpacking the ZIP File
Now You can extract the ZIP file using either "Extract All..." from the Context Menu or any other Archive Application.
The extracted Folder will contain at least the following Items:
- SpocWeb.exe This is the actual Spoc-Web Application
- SpocWeb.sdf This is a sample Spoc-Web Database
- SpocWebEULA.txt The End User License Agreement
- _Resources This Folder contains Text and Image Files. You can modify these to tune the Looks and Language of the Application to Your Needs.
Starting the Application: choosing Database and Attachment Folder
When starting the Application, SpocWeb.exe asks You for a SpocWeb Database (*.sdf) File. You can choose the provided SpocWeb.sdf or any other SpocWeb Database File You have.
When You move a SpocWeb Database or open it for the first Time, Spoc-Web will also ask You for a Folder to store Attachments.
By Default a Folder with the same Name as the Database and in the same Directory is proposed, but You may choose any other Folder, e.g. to keep large Attachments on a separate Drive. This can also be a removable Hard-Drive.
Spoc-Web can temporarily operate without the Attachment Folder.
Associating SpocWeb Database Files (*.sdf) with the Spoc-Web Application
Spoc-Web remembers the last Database You opened and reopens it by Default.
But You can also pass the Database to open as a Command-Line Parameter to Spoc-Web.
It is especially convenient to "associate" SpocWeb Database Files (*.sdf) with the Spoc-Web Application so the Application opens up automatically when double-clicking on or linking to SpocWeb Databases:
- Right-Click any *.sdf File
- Choose "Open with..."
- In the Dialog, choose "Browse" to search for SpocWeb.exe
- Make sure the Check-Box is ticked to "Always use the selected Program to open this kind of file"
- Click "OK" to save the Association
Now You can simply double-click on any SpocWeb Database to open it, which is useful when maintaining several Databases. This also applies to Shortcuts and Links in the Browser. To conserve Your Computers Resources, only two Databases can be opened concurrently.
