Workbench automatically creates a standard directory structure used to hold all the files related to the setup and usage of Workbench. This ensures a standard usage of file locations for use in shortcuts, and for clarity of support.
All downloaded files are then stored in these directories.
- To create this structure, select the Download option for the file Directory Structure.zip
- Save the file into the Workbench directory you have created
- Uncompress the file Directory Structure.zip into the Workbench directory. It contains a file called install.vbs.
- Double click this file and follow the instructions
- You will be asked to input the directory path
- If you are on the machine where the already created Workbench directory is you can type the local path e.g. C:\Workbench.
- If you are accessing from another machine you will need to put the unc path e.g. \\server\workbench
- You will now be asked to enter the names of the Workbench instances that will be used on this site. This usually is Workbench Live and Workbench Test, but in some cases you may have more Workbench databases.
- Repeat this process for each Workbench instance.
- When you have entered the last instance click OK when the field is blank
- This has now created the Workbench server directory structure for each Workbench instance.
- The Workbench directory will now contain the subdirectories and files as detailed below.
You may wish to check that the subdirectories have been created. The following directories should have these sub directories:
- APP: Will have a subdirectory for each Workbench instance
- Reports: Should have a subdirectory called Samples Setup: Should two sub directories one called Client Setup and one called Server Setup
- Transfer: Should have one sub directory Email Attachments
If for some reason one or more of these subdirectories are missing you can create them manually.
