Installing eXtyles: Step-by-Step

Your organization may require that an IT professional install software on your machine. Refer to our Overview for IT Professionals for detailed information about eXtyles installation and technical requirements.

1. Double-click the eXtyles installation file that you downloaded from the provided URL (this file will probably look something like eXtylesABC0000.exe; where ABC is an abbreviation of your organization’s name and 000 is the eXtyles build number).

2. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided within the InstallShield Wizard dialog.

You will be required to enter your eXtyles license key during the setup process. If you have a HASP-keyed version of eXtyles, enter the license number on the tag attached to the key; if you do not have a HASP-keyed version of eXtyles enter the key that was provided to you when you first received your eXtyles configuration. If you have not received this information from Inera, please contact extyles technical support.

3. If applicable, install any patch files according to the instructions provided by Inera (these vary depending on the customer and patch type).

4. Start Microsoft Word.

You should see the eXtyles tab added to the Word ribbon. If you do not see the eXtyles tab, please visit our FAQs or contact eXtyles technical support.

Once you have eXtyles installed you can test the installation with the following verification document. Simply download the Word document from this site and follow the instructions within.

Uninstalling eXtyles: Step-by-Step

Uninstall eXtyles using the Windows Control Panel. This will ensure that eXtyles is correctly and completely uninstalled from your computer prior to installing an update.

1. Open the Windows Control Panel by typing “Control Panel” in your Windows search bar

2. Select “Uninstall a program” from the Control Panel options

3. Select “eXtyles” from the list of installed programs

Note that if you are uninstalling eXtyles build 5143 or higher (from December 19, 2022, or later) there will be more than one eXtyles option in the list. Select only the “eXtyles” option to uninstall; do not select either the “eXtyles 32-bit” or “eXtyles 32-bit DLLs” or the “eXtyles 64-bit” or “eXtyles 64-bit DLLs” depending on your installation.

4. Click “Uninstall” and the InstallShield wizard will uninstall eXtyles

After successfully uninstalling eXtyles check your C:\Program Files (x86)\eXtyles directory and make sure that no files remain (delete any that do).

Then, we recommend that you reboot your computer before installing your eXtyles update or reinstalling eXtyles.
