To install web parts, make sure the Web Part Packages tab is selected and then follow these steps.
1. Select Add Package from the “Add/Remove Package” area.
2. In the “Enter path to cabs” area, click Browse and locate the directory into which you extracted the zipped .cab files. If you also want to look for web parts in subfolders of the selected directory, select the Search SubFolders checkbox. Once you have selected the directory, the Software Manager will list all of the available .cab files in the “Packages Available For Install” area.
3. If you want to install all of the web parts, click the Select All checkbox at the top of the “Packages Available For Install” area. Otherwise, place a check mark next to each .cab file you want to install.
4. Note that all available virtual servers are automatically listed in the “Virtual Servers” area. If you want to install the Suite globally, highlight All in this area. Otherwise, select only the virtual servers you want to work with.
5. Make sure there is a check mark in the “Restart IIS” box. Once the selected web parts are installed, this will prompt the Internet Information Server Services (web server) to shut down and restart without rebooting the physical server. Since WSS and SPS depend on IIS, this also restarts WSS and SPS. IIS needs to be restarted when upgrading web parts that have already been installed.
6. Click Execute in the “Add/Remove Package” area. A window is displayed with a prompt to accept or decline the CorasWorks Software License Agreement.
7. Select Accept and then click OK. If you are working with the Winter 2006 version of the Software Manager, the installation status of displayed in the area near the bottom of the window. When the installation is complete, you will see a list of installed web parts plus a total count in the “Installed Packages” area. Installation of the Workplace Suite web parts is now complete.
