How can I register FDK clients without access to the installed maker.ini?

Hi all,

I don't have access to the maker.ini file in the FrameMaker installation. How can I then register FDK clients?

I plan to put my FDK clients in a fminit structure in my document folder.

Will a maker.ini file in the same folder also be run at startup?

Best Regards,

Gunnar Eldevik

There is also a maker.ini file in

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\<VersionNumber>

where <UserName> is your Windows login name and <VersionNumber> is the FrameMaker version number (13 for 2015; 14 for 2017; 15 for 2019).

There is also a way to configure an FDK Client so that it loads automatically without an entry in the maker.ini file if it is in the fminit/Plugins folder. I don't remember how to do it, but it is in the FDK docs somewhere.

Autoregister of FDK Clients is discribed here: (page 36)

Plugin is put to fminit/Plugins and Registers automatically if VERSIONINFO in res-file is set correctly.

For Installation you Need Rights to %programfiles%
