Single user Installer

  • The single-user installer is to be installed by each Locator user.  
  • See the ayfie MyWorks for Windows page in the User Guide for details.
  • Note:  The single-user installer does not support command line parameters.

Multi-user Installer
 

  • To accommodate customer environments that restrict end users machine installation, the MyWorks Multi-user Installer is provided for System Administrators so that MyWorks can be deployed centrally.
  • You can obtain the latest version of the MyWorks multi-user installer from the ayfie Locator Software Downloads section in the Online Help Center.
  • The file "MyWorks_MultiUser.msi" is a UI installer, in the Microsoft installation file format, that will install the MyWorks search client machine wide.  It can be customized by adding the following parameters:

    • APPLICATIONFOLDER  -  The target directory for the MyWorks search client. This will default to "C:\Program Files\ayfie\MyWorks" for 32-bit OS, and "C:\Program Files (x86)\ayfie\MyWorks\" for 64-bit OS).

    • ENABLESEARCHBAR  -  This controls whether or not the search bar widget is visible.  It can be set to either true or false (e.g. ENABLESEARCHBAR=false).

    • SERVERNAME  -  The address of the Locator server for which you want the MyWorks client to be configured.  This will default to "http://Locator".

 Example:  msiexec /i MyWorks_MultiUser.msi SERVERNAME=http://mylocatorserver APPLICATIONFOLDER="C:\MyFolder\"

Important Considerations

  • Before deploying MyWorks using the MSI, make sure that you remove all traces of the single-user deployment of the product. This means, uninstalling the product on a per user basis. Also, please make sure that if the target directory is set manually for MyWorks, the directory needs to be available machine wide (for all users).

  • When the multi-user version is uninstalled, it leaves behind a settings.xml file that can cause problems when attempting to re-install EITHER version of MyWorks.  This file resides in the "c:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\ayfie\MyWorks\" folder for single-user installations, and in the "c:\ProgramData\ayfie\MyWorks\" folder for multi-user installations.  Delete this file and folder AFTER uninstalling MyWorks and BEFORE reinstalling any version of MyWorks.
