erwin Evolve 2024.0.0 - Installation Guide

Document Generator

Document Generator

Document Generator can be installed by itself, or alongside Evolve Suite, either on a server or a desktop machine.

The only requirements additional to those listed for Evolve Suite are:

Microsoft Word 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021, Office 365 (32-bit or 64-bit versions)

A working Evolve Repository to store data.

The Data Layer and CMXML Export components needed to connect to the repository are installed automatically.

 

Important:

If you are installing Evolve Suite 2024 on Windows Server 2016 or above, you will need to install Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime prior to using Document Generator. These files can be obtained from the Microsoft website.

Failing to install Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime may have undesirable effects such as Microsoft Word failing to save the Document Generator add-in.

V Modeler

V-Modeler

V-Modeler can be installed on a machine by itself, or alongside Evolve Suite.

The only requirements additional to those listed for Evolve Suite are:

Microsoft Visio 2010 or 2013 (32-bit versions only)

A working Evolve Repository to store data.

NB: V-Modeler is no longer a supported product.

While V-Modeler can run on a 64-bit version of Windows, it cannot be installed for a 64-bit version of Visio. Visio has 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Please check which version you are using before installing V-Modeler. To do this run Visio and go to File > Help – the About Microsoft Visio section contains the version details.

Install The Client Software

Before You Begin

Before You Begin

Before you attempt to install the client software, please read the following important notes:

You must have Administration rights on your computer to install the software. Please see your system administrator for assistance.

Unless you are installing the stand-alone version of Evolve Suite, it is recommended that you set up the networked database first.

Please check your machine for pending Windows Updates, and apply any updates first. Having pending updates can result in errors during installation.

Please ensure Microsoft Word and Visio are not running if you plan to install Document Generator or V-Modeler.
