Install software

1. Download and install OpenOffice.org from http://www.openoffice.org (Don’t use 2.4, see issue #89428).

2. Run OpenOfice.org Writer.

3. Download and run the ICE windows installer (use the default settings).
   NB: This will not replace version ICE 1.2

Configure software

If ICE has already been used before you will not need to do the configuration steps.

Add a SVN repository

1. Start the ICE server

   Go to Start…Program Files…ICE 2.0…ICE server

2. Go to http://localhost:8000, a ‘Config editor’ page will load

3. Enter a SVN URL in the ‘New repository URL:’ field or fill in the information required under ‘Advanced repository settings’

4. Click ‘Save’ and then click ‘Close editor’.

5. Enter your username and password for the SVN URL provided.

   ICE will then checkout the content from the given SVN URL.

NB: Internet Explorer (IE) may cache the login page, to resolve this set IE preferences for caching to always load new page instead of automatic.

Add document templates

Before you can create documents using ICE you will need to add some ICE templates. In order to use the ICE templates affectively also install the word processor toolbars.

1. Create a folder called ‘templates’ in the root of your repository. For example if your content was located in c:\ICE\MyFiles make the directory c:\ICE\MyFiles\templates

2. Download either an OpenOffice.org template (Default.odt) and/or Word template (Default.doc) into the templates directory you just added. Change these files or add others into the template directory as required.

   You should now be able to create new files using the “Add” tab in ICE.

How to update ICE

To update ICE without re-installing:

1. Close the ICE server if it is running

2. Go to Start…Program Files…ICE…Setup…Update ICE

3. Update will be applied when ICE is started again.
