### 1.3.3 Install Mif2Go

Before you begin:

• If you do not yet have an Omni Systems home directory on your system, first §1.3.1 Set up a framework for Omni Systems applications.

• If you already have Mif2Go version 4.0 or later on your system, skip this section and instead §1.4.2 Update your Mif2Go installation.

Why no installer?

Omni Systems does not provide an installer for Mif2Go. This is done for transparency; you know Mif2Go does not “call home”, make changes to the Windows Registry, put files where your company policy does not permit them, nor alter any other files on your system. Information-system technicians can see exactly what will happen, and adjust the instructions as needed to comply with company policy.

To install Mif2Go for the first time:

1. Download Mif2Go distribution m2g_full_54.zip to your Omni Systems home directory and extract all files, allowing the extraction process to create subdirectories.

Note: If your zip utility puts the extracted files in a directory named after the distribution archive, move them up one level so they are directly under the Omni Systems home directory. For example, executables should be in %OMSYSHOME%\common\bin, not in %OMSYSHOME%\m2g_full_54\common\bin.

2. Move the Mif2Go distribution .zip file to subdirectory %OMSYSHOME%\m2g\zip, where it will be available for future reference.

3. On your desktop, create a shortcut to:

%OMSYSHOME%\m2g\usersguide\ugmif2go.chm

This gives you double-click access to the Mif2Go User's Guide, HTML Help edition. You can download other editions from Omni Systems; see Availability.

4. Close FrameMaker, then copy the following files from %OMSYSHOME%\m2g\plugin to your FrameMaker fminit\plugins directory:

m2rbook.dll

m2gframe.dll

5. If you are using a version of FrameMaker earlier than version 9, delete file .cache from your FrameMaker plugins directory.

Next: §1.3.4 Make Omni Systems executables accessible.
