For installation on a single Computer:

1. If you have already run the installer for a previous project, do not run it again. You can detect
this by double clicking on the .MSI file and if the options pull up to repair or remove, it has
already been installed.
2. Run the .MSI file by double clicking on it. On the first screen that appears click the Next button.
3. On the next screen, you may keep the default folder to save the .DLL files in or select a new one
using the Browse button. Click the Next button to proceed.
4. On the following screen click the Next button to complete the installation.
5. You may place the SoftMap Excel file in any folder on the computer.

To run SoftMap:

1. Double click on the SoftMap file or open the SoftMap file in Excel through the Open dialog box.
2. Excel will prompt you to enable macros. Enable macros in Excel. If you cannot enable macros
due to high security in Excel, consult how to enable Macros in Excel in Excel on-line help (F1).
After macros are enabled, SoftMap will begin its login procedure as normal, asking for a
password.
3. Depending on the version of Excel you are running, you may get some warnings. This is because
some of the functions and objects in Softmap originated from older versions of Excel. If you get
a red warning banner stating, “Protected Mode”, click for more info, and press the “Edit
Anyway” button. You may also get a “Security Warning”. Click on this, and “Enable Content” .
Finally, it may ask if you want to make it a trusted document. Click “Yes”

General Information:
