The DITA-FMx installer application is provided in a ZIP archive. As part of the installation process, the installer modifies the maker.ini file. If you feel it is necessary, you may want to make a backup of this file before running the installer.
Extract the executable from the archive and run it. The installer extracts and copies the required files to the FrameMaker\DITA-FMx folder.
The following files are installed:
ditafmx_72.dll / ditafmx_71.dll - Authoring support plugin DLL.
ditafmx_72_app.dll / ditafmx_71_app.dll - Import/export client DLL.
ditafmx_72_book.dll - Book processing client DLL.
ditafmx.chm - Online Help file.
DITA-FMx_Help_Source.zip - Source for the online Help files.
DITA-FMx_apps.zip - Structure application files.
ditaref-book.chm - DITA Reference online Help file (for element-based context sensitive authoring help).
README-ANT.txt - Information and samples for setting up the Ant script processing commands.
ditafmx-ant.xml - Ant script that provides targets for the Current File option of the Generate Output command.
PROJECT.xml - Sample Ant script for the Selected Target option of the Generate Output command.
After extracting the new files, it updates the APIClients section of the maker.ini file with references to the plugin DLLs. The following lines are added:
ditafmx=Standard, ditafmx, DITA-FMx\ditafmx_72.dll, structured ditafmx_app=Standard, ditafmx_app, DITA-FMx\ditafmx_72_app.dll, structured ditafmx_book=Standard, ditafmx_book, DITA-FMx\ditafmx_72_book.dll, structured
If you are upgrading from the Adobe DITA App Pack or from the first beta version of DITA-FMx (v.0.01), you may need to modify the maker.ini file or disable the client plugins. If you are see console errors when starting FrameMaker, make sure you have addressed the issues described in Before Running the Installer.
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.
If you want to disable any of the plugin clients, comment out the ditafmx, ditafmx_app, or ditafmx_book entries in the APIClients section of the maker.ini file.
