There are 2 options when installing INTERJECT:
-
- ** Installation Option 1: ** Installing from the Portal Management Website using a ClickOnce installer for Windows™. This option is intended for single users to log into our portal to install INTERJECT. This option is quick, easy, and requires the fewest steps.
- ** Installation Option 2: ** Installing via an Enterprise level MSI installer. This option is for large user bases that have standard configurations. This option is installed with a session controller who distributes the product to all necessary computers. While more technical, user set-up is still simple.

Option 2: Enterprise level MSI installer
This method is for installing INTERJECT using the MSI-based installer package. Since each MSI is tailored to an individual customer, this will be a general overview of the steps for this option. The MSI-based installation also depends on the Interject Session Controller. The Interject Session Controller needs to run with elevated permissions, and it is used to manage the INTERJECT Add-in on multi-user servers.
Step 1: Acquire the zip folder with the INTERJECT install files and extract wherever you would like.
Inside will be three files. An executable, an MSI and, a text file. Before starting, take a look at the “readme.txt”, which will have the most up-to-date information on the installation.
Step 2: With the INTERJECT MSI option, you have 2 possible methods to install: One uses the Command Line (.cmd). The other uses the Executable (.exe). For both options, you need to run the .cmd or .exe in administrator mode.
Method 1: Command Line
Open the text file and copy the line that will install INTERJECT. Note: Update the path to the MSI mid-way through the line.
It will look like this in Command Prompt. Press enter to finish the installation. Since you are installing in quiet mode, no other action is needed.
Note: Make sure to restart Excel after installing.
Method 2: The other option is using the executable
Step 1: Right click the executable and allow it to open as administrator.
Step 2: Select the program to run as an unknown publisher (certifications in progress). The following window will open. Click next.

Note: Please restart Excel after completing these steps.
