Folder structure

This chapter explains the folder structure of a Zeta Test installation.

Single-workstation installation

Taking an English Windows Vista system with a "C:” drive and a user John Doe ("jdoe”), a single user installation will have the following folder structure:

  • "C:\Program Files\Zeta Test” – Main folder of the installation.o
    • "Applications” – Sub folder with application files.
    • "Packaging” – Sub folder with various resources copied into the local user folder at first application startup.
  • "C:\Users\JDoe\Documents\Zeta Test” – User folder with write permissions for the user.
    • "Projects” – Sub folder with the Zeta Test projects of the user.
    • "Resources” – Sub folder with the HTML files that are shown in the content area of the main window.
    • "Settings” – Sub folder with the application settings.
    • "Stationary” – Sub folder with the (multi lingual) templates/files for the first application startup and with the project that serves as the template when creating new projects.

By changing settings in the application configuration file, most of the folder locations can be changed. I.e. the application does not access the folders described above but the alternative folder paths you specified instead.

Network installation on a local area network (LAN)

Currently, there is no installation setup package available for directly installing onto your LAN.

Then, you will need to adjust the application configuration file so that Zeta Test knows the new folder paths.

A suitable example folder structure might be as follows:

  • "\\myserver\myshare\Zeta Test” – Main folder of the installation.
    • "Applications” – Sub folder with application files.
    • "Packaging” – Sub folder with various resources copied into the local user folder at first application startup.
    • "Projects" – Sub folder with the Zeta Test projects for all users.
    • "Resources” – Sub folder with the HTML files that are shown in the content area of the main window.
    • "Settings” – Sub folder with the application settings.
    • "ClientSetup” – Sub folder with "setup.exe” that will be executed in a multi-user installation once on each accessing workstation.
    • "Stationary” – Sub folder with the (multi lingual) templates/files for the first application startup and with the project that serves as the template when creating new projects.

In the example above all folders are stored in one location, independently from the user logged in. It is important in such a case that all users have write permissions for the folders, which are normally stored locally in the user’s personal folder.
