Setup Editing Tools 2

• It´s pretty important to choose a proper place to install the BI Editing tools 2 before starting with anythings else (a clean empty partition is highly recommended).
• In this tutorial we will use Partition O:\
  • 1: Download the BI Editing Tools 2
  • 2: Create a foldier called BIS Tools 2 in your designated Partition (O:\BIS TOOLS 2\ in our example)
  • 3: Open or extract the dowloaded zip file and start the BI_Editing_Tools_2_Setup.exe
  • 4: Der Installer ist grösstenteils selbsterklärend, wichtig wird es bei den Pfadangaben wo die einzelnen Tools insatlliert werden sollen.
    • Vergewissert euch, dass ihr bei jedem Tool den Ordner O:\BIS TOOLS 2\Oxygen 2, O:\BIS TOOLS 2\Visitor 3 .....usw angebt. http://a.imagehost.org/0213/tutorial_tool_install_1.jpg
