Installing the MapSpeller™ Software


The MapSpeller software and its associated files have been packaged into an executable setup file with the InstallShield software for an easy, reliable, industry-compliant installation. The web version has thereafter been compressed into a ZIP file to reduce its size, and avoid being blocked by most firewalls and virus scanners. To install the MapSpeller software,
  1. Log in with administrative rights on the PC where the software is to be installed
     
  2. Start the installation wizard by double-clicking on the setup.exe file from Windows Explorer
     
    1. If you have downloaded the MapSpeller software from www.MapSpeller.com, the setup.exe file is within the MapSpeller.zip folder.
       
    1. If you are installing from the MapSpeller CD instead, insert it into the CD drive of the machine where you want to install the MapSpeller software. If the installation wizard doesn't start on its own, double-click on the setup.exe file on the CD using Windows Explorer to start the installation process.
       
  3. Follow the instructions of the installation wizard. It will install the software and create a MapSpeller Help link in the Programs section of the Windows Start menu. The MapSpeller functionality is only accessible from the ArcMap interface.
Important Notes
 
  1. After installing the MapSpeller software, you will still need to register your copy with Edgetech America, Inc.
  2. If you are installing the MapSpeller extension in a terminal server environment (or equivalent), you must obtain a license for that purpose: see the license agreement and contact Edgetech America, Inc.
