Installation of the software
This page describes in some detail how Working Time Office
is installed and explains the need for an active internet-connection.
Full information on this subject can be found in the appropriate
manuals.
What can you expect while installing Working
Time Office?
Installation on a home-computer hardly ever causes any problems.
Installation on an office computer can be blocked for various
(security-) reasons. The following may apply:
- Access to (new) unauthorized websites may be blocked.
- The installation of programs (.EXE) may not be allowed
on local computers.
- Execution of macros in Excel® may seem
impossible. The cure is to change the macro-security
setting from 'High' to 'Medium'.
- Anti-virus programs may prevent execution of macros
like they are used in Working Time Office, settings
need to be adjusted.
- The installation procedures confirms the presence
of Microsoft© .NET on the computer. This
is the case for virtually every computer running under
Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. If this test
fails the system tries to install the Microsoft©
SOAP Toolkit. This may not be possible in an office
environment without the intervention of a system administrator.
- After the installation a secure (HTTPS) connection
is set up with our Working
Time Office servers. Firewalls may prevent this,
and settings may have to be changed.
- Sometimes in an office environment a proxy-server
may control the access to the internet. Normally
Working Time Office
will use the proxy-server settings automatically, it
may be needed to change proxy-settings.
In brief, a number of preconditions must be met with
by the system administrator. Sometimes it may be needed
to use a direct IP-link (82.127.197.4) from Working Time
Office to our Working Time Office
servers.
Testing
Please verify you have installed the latest version
of Working Time Office! The following
link allows a test to check communication between
a computer and our Working
Time Office servers. When the test is successful
a browser window will open showing SOAP/XML coding.
Support
When needed we will be happy to contact your system administrator
and mutually install and test everything. Once this is sorted
out it should be easy possible to use Working Time Office.
