Configuring WebLaunch and WebLaunch Ultra

The WebLaunch executable must be added to a workstation’s

default web browser as a Plug-in Helper application. When

DiscView PRO is installed on the server the following things

occur:

ü The system type is checked (Win95, Win3.1, WinNT, etc.)

ü The default browser is located – either Netscape, or

Internet Explorer

ü A new entry for the MIME type, the plug-in definition, is

created, if a browser exists. Typically, this will take place

via registry entry changes. The following MIME type is

used:

Type: Application

SubType: x-weblaunch

File Extension: SLI

Action: Launch Application

\[Pathtodiscview]\discsl.exe -W

ü The user is prompted to restart the browser if it is cur-

rently running
