Prerequisites

The Ribbon Commander framework minimum requirements are:

1. Windows XP SP3 or later
2. Office 2007 or later

In addition, the installer requires:

1. Admin rights on the target machine
2. .NET Framework 2.0 (for the .NET library projections)

Obtaining the msi package

Visit www.ribboncommander.com and follow the 'Download Latest Version' link. Unzip the compressed file 'RibbonCommander.zip' to obtain the msi installer package (RibbonCommander.msi).

Installing

1. Double-click on RibbonCommander.msi or right-click and select Install.
2. Read the License Agreement carefully and check the checkbox if you agree in order to proceed.

   

3. Click on 'Typical' to install all recommended components or 'Custom' to optionally exclude one or more (optional) components.

   

4. Click on 'Install' (this requires admin rights on the target PC).

   

Verifying Installation Success

• 1. Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features (Add-Remove Programs on XP).
  2. Verify that Ilyda (...) has been added to the list.

  

• In Windows 7 Ribbon Commander also creates a Start Menu folder under Start->IlydaUK->RibbonCommander.

  

• In Windows 8 the 'IlydaUK' Group is created in the Start Screen.
