Installation

The installation of 1-PASS Prep (1PP) requires the installation of the product, the product registration, and the USPS labeling list files. The product registration requires a Client-specific ‘register.txt’ file, which is provided by Window Book.

The installation of 1PP is completed using an installer wizard. The wizard will create a ‘WB’ directory on the server or computer, with a ‘1PP’ sub-directory. If a ‘WB’ directory already exists on the server or computer (specifically, other Window Book products are already installed), the installation wizard will use that same ‘WB’ directory to install 1PP.

Directory Tree

Shown below is the default directory tree for 1PP that is created during the installation of the product. The name and/or location of some directories can be changed during the installation process if desired by the user (note: the root directory shown here is “C”; however, this may be changed by the Client).

WB: This is the main directory for 1PP and all Window Book products. If an existing ‘WB’ directory is already present prior to the installation of 1PP, the installation wizard will install 1PP under it. If a ‘WB’ directory does not already exist, the 1PP installation wizard will create one.

1PP: This is the main program directory for 1PP. The registration file (register.txt) the Client obtains from Window Book that is required to run 1PP is also saved to this main program directory (WB\1PP) after the installation procedure is completed successfully.

Forms: This directory is where the example form files are stored that can be used by the Client for creating forms of their own. Window Book recommends saving all Client-created form files in this directory

Window Book strongly recommends creating a copy of any of the example forms before making any modifications to them so that an original always exists.

Sort Schemes: This directory is where Comminglers’ sort schemes are located.

USPS Data: Includes labeling lists L005, L012, L601 and L602 from the USPS and a USPS_tables_YYYY_MM.xml which maps the position of field in the labeling lists. The labeling lists will be provided in an installation file, which will extract the labeling lists and USPS_tables_YYYY_MM.xml to this directory. See Installing Labeling Lists for more information.
