* Installing the Components
------------------------------------------------------------

To install and use the ASP2XML and ASPointer components
you must be running a Windows-based system with Microsoft 
Active Server Pages installed. Run the program Setup.exe to 
install the component. If you downloaded the component from 
the Web, there will be a single zip file that you must unzip 
into a directory on your server first. If you purchased 
ASPointer direct from us, you can install it by running the 
program setup.exe on Disk 1 of the setup disks supplied. 

If the setup program cannot uniquely identify the version of
a currently installed file, a warning will be displayed
before it is replaced. Should this occur, you may like 
to make a copy of the file before overwriting it.

If you are using Internet Information Server 4, you may
wish to set the 'Run in separate memory space (isolated 
process)' option on the Virtual Directory page of the 
Properties dialog for any directories where you store 
pages that use the ASPointer component.

------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
* Installing the ASPointer Samples and Documentation
------------------------------------------------------------

After installation, your Program Files\Stonebroom\ASPointer 
directory will contain the Security Manager utility 
(XPConfig.exe), this documentation, and the uninstall 
information for ASPointer.

Before you can use the example ASP pages, you will need 
to create a virtual root to these files. You may prefer to 
copy the entire set of documents to a folder within your 
server's WWWRoot directory instead. In IIS3, you must then 
create a virtual path to provide script execution access 
to this directory.


------------------------------------------------------------
* Setting ASPointer Disk Access Permissions
------------------------------------------------------------
If you use ASPointer to directly access and update XML 
documents on your server's disk, you will need to edit the 
Permissions list in the Properties dialog for the directory 
that you specify in the writeXPointer method parameter (using 
Windows NT Explorer). Give the account that will use the 
component Write or Full Control permission. If the component 
is being accessed anonymously, the account in use will be 
either IUSR_machinename or IWAM_machinename depending on 
whether you have installed the component as a Virtual 
Application in Internet Service Manager.


------------------------------------------------------------
* Manually Registering the ASPointer Component
------------------------------------------------------------
If the ASPointer component is not recognized by Active 
Server Pages after installation, or if the files have been 
moved to a different directory, you will need to re-register 
it using the regsvr32.exe program:
 
regsvr32.exe <path_to_aspointr.dll>\aspointr.dll

The default directory for installation of the component 
file is \Winnt\System32.


------------------------------------------------------------
* Uninstalling ASPointer 
------------------------------------------------------------

To uninstall ASPointer, go to Settings | Control Panel | 
Add/Remove Programs and select Stonebroom.ASPointer. Because 
ASP caches components when they are first used, you should 
stop and restart the server before running the uninstall 
procedure if you did not set the component to run in a 
separate process as a Virtual Application (IIS4+ only). 
Note that if you have moved any files since installation, 
the uninstall procedure may not work correctly. In this 
case, you should un-register the component file using: 

regsvr32.exe -u <path_to_aspointr.dll>\aspointr.dll

and then delete it manually from the disk.

------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
* Installing the ASP2XML Samples and Documentation
------------------------------------------------------------

After installation, your Program Files\Stonebroom\ASP2XML 
directory will contain this documentation, and the uninstall 
information for ASP2XML.

Before you can use the example ASP pages, you will need 
to create a virtual root to these files. You may prefer to 
copy the entire set of documents to a folder within your 
server's WWWRoot directory instead. In IIS3, you must then 
create a virtual path to provide script execution access 
to this directory.


------------------------------------------------------------
* Setting ASP2XML Disk Access Permissions
------------------------------------------------------------
If you use ASP2XML to create XML documents as disk files, 
you will need to edit the Permissions list in the Properties 
dialog for the directory that you specify in the getXML 
method parameter (using Windows NT Explorer). Give the 
account that will use the component Write or Full Control 
permission. If the component is being accessed anonymously, 
the account in use will be either IUSR_machinename or 
IWAM_machinename depending on whether you have installed 
the component as a Virtual Application in Internet 
Service Manager.


------------------------------------------------------------
* Manually Registering the ASP2XML Component
------------------------------------------------------------
If the ASP2XML component is not recognized by Active 
Server Pages after installation, or if the files have been 
moved to a different directory, you will need to re-register 
it using the regsvr32.exe program:
 
regsvr32.exe <path_to_asp2xml.dll>\asp2xml.dll

The default directory for installation of the component 
file is \Winnt\System32.


------------------------------------------------------------
* Uninstalling ASP2XML
------------------------------------------------------------

To uninstall ASP2XML, go to Settings | Control Panel | 
Add/Remove Programs and select Stonebroom.ASP2XML. Because 
ASP caches components when they are first used, you should 
stop and restart the server before running the uninstall 
procedure if you did not set the component to run in a 
separate process as a Virtual Application (IIS4+ only). 
Note that if you have moved any files since installation, 
the uninstall procedure may not work correctly. In this 
case, you should un-register the component file using: 

regsvr32.exe -u <path_to_asp2xml.dll>\asp2xml.dll

and then delete it manually from the disk.
