InstallingTaskmaster Web controls in Datacap Manually

Taskmaster Web installs various controls for certain functionality such as interfacing with scanners. These controls are normally downloaded and installed automatically when accessing the website with proper browser settings and user permissions. However, there may be rare cases due to corporate security / user environment where manual installation may be desirable or required.

Steps to install components used for physical scanning:
1. Login to the end user's machine with an account that has rights to install and register files
2. Make \Datacap\tmweb.net\Task\twpro.cab from Taskmaster Web available on the end user's machine
3. Extract the contents of twpro.cab into a new folder
4. Copy all extracted files into %windir%\system32 and, if present (x64 OS), %windir%\SysWOW64
This is typically C:\Windows\system32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64
5. Right-click and run Command Prompt with the "Run As Administrator" option if User Account Control (UAC) is enabled
6. Execute the following command, adjust paths as necessary:
C:\Windows\system32\regsvr32.exe C:\Windows\system32\TWNPRO3.dll

Steps to install general Taskmaster Web files:
1. Login to the end user's machine with an account that has rights to install and register files
2. Make \Datacap\tmweb.net\Task\dcim.cab from Taskmaster Web available on the end user's machine
3. Extract the contents of dcim.cab into a new folder
4. Copy all extracted files into %windir%\system32 and, if present (x64 OS), %windir%\SysWOW64
This is typically C:\Windows\system32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64
5. Right-click and run Command Prompt with the "Run As Administrator" option if User Account Control (UAC) is enabled
6. Execute the following commands, adjust paths as necessary:
regsvr32 C:\Windows\system32\DcEdit.ocx
regsvr32 C:\Windows\system32\dcimage.ocx
regsvr32 C:\Windows\system32\dcthumbs.ocx

Cross Check
Ensure that all other prerequisites mentioned in the installation and configuration guide such as the ability to run ActiveX components are met before confirming resolution.
