Installing Aspose.Slides for SharePoint

Aspose.Slides for SharePoint is downloaded as the Aspose.Slides.SharePoint.zip archive. The archive contains:

• Aspose.Slides.SharePoint.wsp: SharePoint solution file. Aspose.Slides for SharePoint is packaged as a SharePoint solution to facilitate activation and deactivation across the server farm.
• Aspose_LicenseAgreement.rtf: The end user license agreement.
• Setup.exe: The setup program.
• Setup.exe.config: The setup configuration file.

Installation Process

Before running the installation, the setup program checks that:

• WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007 is installed.
• The user has permission to install SharePoint solutions.
• SharePoint database is online.
• WSS Administration Service is started.
• WSS Timer service is started.

The WSS Administration and Timer services are needed because some setup actions rely on a timer job to propagate to all servers in the server farm.
