Inspiration 9.2 IE Appears straightforward but there are various considerations.
The setup program calls .\Net Support\Workstation support.exe which installs an application specific PDF printer object called Inspiration 9 PDF Driver which is derived from a NovaPDF 7 install. The Inspiration software has an Export to PDF File item in the file menu which directly uses the specific printer object. If the printer object is not present the attempts to use Export to PDF File produce a message: "The Inspiration PDF export driver is not installed. Please reinstall Inspiration before trying this operation."
Inspiration can print to other PDF printer objects in the normal way.
.\Net Support\Workstation support.exe also prompts the user to go and install QuickTime in order to "use Inspiration's multimedia capabilities" ooooo multimedia.
To deal with the QuickTime issue. Download the QuickTimeInstaller.exe and copy out the AppleApplicationSupport.msi and QuickTime.msi ready to run during the sequencing.
Training Videos on the help menu will not work if the RSTP protocol is blocked.
Appsense can be used to disable the (File) Export to PDF File, (Help) Register Online and Get QuickTime menu items.
Application settings are managed in files in the roaming profile. Appsense personalisation can handle these if required. {CSIDL_APPDATA}\Inspiration Software\Inspiration IE\9.2
