Adding Books to the Stand-Alone Installation
After the Premise program is installed locally, each CD-ROM disc (also known as a Book) must be added to the Premise library.The following steps outline this procedure

2. Launch Premise.

Network Installation

1. Place the Premise program disc in a local CD-ROM drive.
2. Run the setup.exe located on the disc.
3. The installation program will display the default destination directory of C:\Westpub. To place the Premise program on a network drive, simply change the destination to a network directory (i.e.; F:\APPS)
4. After the program files have been copied to this new network destination do NOT return to Windows. Instead, select the "Enhanced Network Utilities" option.
5. The type of network installation directs the next choice.
   1. In a standard Peer-to-Peer network, the Setuploc option is selected. This will allow individual users to copy Premise files to the Winprs directory of their workstation. Only the library, communication and translator files remain as shared files. This means that most functions of Premise are running locally on each individual workstation.
      1. Each user must be instructed to run setuploc.exe located in the setuploc subdirectory of the network Winprs directory.
   2. Selecting the Setupnet option will allow users to run Premise directly from the network.
      1. Launch Premise and install all books. All users will share these.
      2. Users must have full access to the \Westpub\Public and \Westpub\Library directories.
      3. Each user must be instructed to run setupnet.exe located in the setupnet subdirectory of the network Winprs directory. When the user starts Premise a working directory C:\Windows\Westwin\Premise will be created on the workstation.

Adding Books to the Network Installation
If the Premise program is installed using the Setupnet network option, Books may be added to Premise in two ways: using the local installation discussed below, or by modifying the cdvolume.ini file.

2. Launch Premise.
3. At the Welcome screen select the Install a Book option.
