Installing Aspose.Cells for SharePoint

Archive Contents

The Aspose.Cells.SharePoint.zip archive contains:

• Aspose.Cells.SharePoint.wsp – SharePoint solution file. Aspose.Cells for SharePoint is packaged as a SharePoint solution to facilitate deployment/retraction and feature activation/deactivation across the server farm.
• Aspose_LicenseAgreement.rtf – End user license agreement
• Aspose.Cells for SharePoint.pdf – User documentation
• Aspose.Cells for SharePoint Documentation.chm – User documentation with Public API reference
• setup.exe – Setup program
• setup.exe.config – Setup configuration file

The setup program checks the following conditions before proceeding with installation:

• WSS 3.0, MOSS 2007 or SharePoint 2010 is installed.
• The user has permission to install SharePoint solutions.
• SharePoint database is online.
• WSS Administration service is started.
• WSS Timer service is started.

WSS Administration service and Timer service are needed because some setup actions rely on a timer job to propagate to all servers in the server farm.
