Run the Installer Application

The DITA-FMx installer application is provided in a ZIP archive. Extract the executable from the archive and run it.

The installer extracts and copies the required files to the FrameMaker\DITA-FMx\ folder. Note that if you are upgrading from the Adobe DITA App Pack, you will still have the FrameMaker\ditafm\ folder, this is required if you plan to use the book-building application (for details, see Setting Up the Book-Building Application). The following files are installed:


After extracting the new files, it updates the maker.ini file with references to the plugin DLLs.

Once the installation has completed, you need to set up the structure applications before you can create and edit DITA files. Continue to Installing the Structure Applications.

Note: If you want to disable either of the plugins, comment out the ditafmx or ditafmx_app entries in the APIClients section of the maker.ini file.
