Administration improvements

The following improvements have been made to the administration of Meridian Enterprise:

• New command line arguments PUC_ICON and WEB_ICON have been added to the Windows Installer packages. If enabled, they will install the respective shortcut on the Windows desktop.
• The default of the UseFrames registry value on the server is now 1 after installation. This shows document property pages in a second pane beside the active navigation view instead of replacing the navigation view in the browser window. The viewer then appears as a property page tab. This value affects all Web Access users.
• When the EDM Server setting Use Enterprise server for audit trail is enabled, the Meridian Enterprise actions are no longer all shown as Custom but show as the correct action names.
• The name of the Task Server computer is now saved correctly in Meridian Enterprise Administrator.
• The license registration wizard has been significantly streamlined. The reseller, background, contact, and much of the site information no longer needs to be entered to register licenses.
• The Meridian Enterprise server setup package now includes options to install Application Integration and the application links. This makes it easier to deploy with BlueCielo Publisher and for development and demonstration systems.
• A new client registry value DisableChangeViewerPriority has been added that, when set to 1, disables users’ ability to change the priority of viewers for particular file types.
• Document retention data can now be initialized by the Document Import Tool in PowerUser and by the Database Import Wizard with the AMRetentionControlPropertySet property set.
• Electronic signature data can now be initialized by the Database Import Wizard with the AMDocumentPropertySet._ESIGNATURES property.
• The Meridian Enterprise setup packages now add the Authenticated users group to the Distributed COM users group in Active Directory automatically so that all users have the correct permission by default.
• A new client registry value ShowAllTablesImportDB has been added that, when set to 1, shows all of the table types present in a Microsoft Excel workbook for selection to import in the Database Import Wizard in Meridian Enterprise Configurator.
• This release contains a new license server that will not accept licenses for newer versions.
• The Manually Update Rendition privilege is now checked when attaching renditions by drag-and-drop in the Meridian clients.
• A new version of SyncUnlock.exe (BCSyncUnlock.exe) is installed that supports an interactive graphical user interface and works with restricted user accounts.
• The AMRep.exe tool has been expanded to include more information in its output and tool execution has been improved:
  • Version numbers of the BlueCielo .NET interops are included
  • Version numbers of the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime libraries are included
  • A list of the versions of the installed Meridian Enterprise Server components is included
  • The Meridian Enterprise Server custom event log is included
  • An error with AMRepU.exe that could cause the message Output directory not found (Files) to be shown has been fixed.
• The Vault Archive Wizard now replaces invalid characters in filenames with the underscore (_) character.
