Install a template package

The Template Installer Wizard guides you through the steps needed to install templates.

To install a template package:

  1. Double-click the template package to launch the Template Installer Wizard.
  2. On the Welcome screen, click Next.
  3. Read the License Agreement, then select I accept the terms in the license agreement. Click Next.
  4. Designate an installation directory for Working Papers. We suggest using the default directory. Click Next.
  5. Enter or Browse for the location of your Working Papers and Template folders if they do not match the defaults. If you are updating or overwriting a template package, you have the option to back up your existing template and uninstall your existing template. Click Finish.

The template package is installed. You can access the template in Working Papers from File | Templates or Tools | Templates.

Note: The template version automatically updates to match the current version of Working Papers.

Silent installation

If you want to install a template package where monitoring and manual input is not required during the installation process, you can perform a silent installation.

First, you'll first need to create a Silentcwp.ini file. The Silentcwp.ini file contains a list of the desired responses a user would make during installation. By running this file, you can bypass the need for user input.

To create a Silentcwp.ini file:

  1. From the Windows Start menu, launch Notepad.

  2. Enter the required responses for your installation. See the Sample Silentcwp.ini file for proper formatting.
