Installing OnePager Express Version 7.0

Installation of OnePager Express (OPX) for version 7.0 remains the same as previous versions. The process is repeated there for your convenience. We smartened up our Installer and are offering you two installation options to launch OPX as an Add-in to Microsoft Excel and a new option to launch OPX directly from a desktop icon. For more information please see the article at: Getting Started with OnePager Express Desktop

Smart Installer

The OPX installer comes in two varieties:

1) an .EXE file for individuals to install on their desktop and
2) a .ZIP file for IT professionals that are installing OPX into a managed network environment.

The .EXE smart installer figures out the bitness of your computer (i.e., 32-bits or 64-bits) and installs the correct bitness to match your computer automatically. The .ZIP file for IT professions and contains all installation instructions in the .ZIP file’s README.rtf file. No further discussion on IT professional installations is provided here.

Both installers provide you with the options to install both the OPX Add-in and desktop icon launch options or to just install the OPX desktop icon launch option only. Regardless of which of these two options is selected, your computer still requires that Microsoft Excel be installed and available.

Microsoft .Net Version Requirements to Run OnePager

OPX version 7.0 requires that the users have installed Microsoft .NET version 4.5 Full or later on their computer. If the .NET 4.5 or later Framework is not installed on your computer, download it for free from Microsoft. OnePager displays both the required Microsoft .NET version and the Microsoft .NET version installed at the About tab on the ribbon’s File tab as shown below:

Everyone or Just Me Selection Options

At this point you can either accept the default options or change the selections as required. The first set of options allows you to install OPX for every user account or only for the user account performing the installation.

Add-in And Desktop Application Selection Options

The second set of options, both of which require the presence of Microsoft Excel on your computer, allows you to install both the Add-in and desktop applications and their icons for OPX or just the desktop application and its icon. Selecting the Launch from my desktop or from Microsoft Excel option inserts OPX as a Microsoft Excel Add-in and place a OPX desktop icon on your desktop. Please note that after selecting this launch option that you only are able to launch either OPX Add-in or OPX desktop. Only one of these applications can be active at a time. If you attempt to launch both, a warning message appears as shown below:
