Desktop
To install Reportance on your desktop computer, click on the download button and run the .exe
Prior to installing, ensure that the following applications are closed:

Terminal Server Environments
Download the installer from:
Prior to installing, ensure that the following applications are closed in all active user sessions on Terminal Services:
1) Reportance
2) Microsoft Excel
Optionally, you can perform a normal installation using the steps for Desktop above. In this case, Reportance will automatically prompt users to download and install the HowNow Smart Workpapers addin (the "workpapers addin") into their local user profile. If this behaviour is acceptable, then no further installation steps are necessary.
However, if you wish to install the workpapers addin for all users, or you have a server environment where load balancing occurs, we recommend using the procedure below to install workpapers.
Run the installation on a user administrator account so that it installs for all users. At the following screen:
1) Click 'Create a desktop icon' if you want an icon to be included on all user desktops; and
2) Select 'Terminal Server Installation'
Any user can test to see if the formulas are installed by opening Excel and typing =CurrentCell() into a cell. If the result return an error the formulas are not installed, otherwise they have been successfully installed.
If there have been issues with the above automation, a user can manually force the installation by selecting Install Workpaper Formulas from the Help menu in the Reportance application (see image below). Ensure Excel is closed while this is performed.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Fitness\HowNow Smart Workpapers\adxregistrator.exe" /install="Workpapers.Next.Addin.dll" /privileges=user
The folder location of the Workpapers.Next.Addin.dll will need to be updated in the above script if Reportance was installed to a non-default location.
Proxy Settings (Advanced)
If you wish to manually specify proxy settings used by the application in your server environment, you will need to edit each of the following three config files:
C:/Program Files (x86)/Reportance/Reportance/Reportance.exe.config
C:/Program Files (x86)/Reportance/ExcelAddin/ExcelAddin.dll.config
(in Terminal Server installs) C:/Program Files (x86)/Reportance/HNSW/Workpapers.Next.Addin.dll.config
(in Normal installs) C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Local/BusinessFitness/HowNow Smart Workpapers/Workpapers.Next.Addin.dll.config
To each config, immediately under the opening <configuration> tag, add one of the two pieces of code below (depending on whether you want to use default proxy settings or manually specify them respectively)
<system.net>
<defaultProxy enabled="true" useDefaultCredentials="true">
<proxy usesystemdefault="true" bypassonlocal="true" />
</defaultProxy>
</system.net><system.net>
<defaultProxy>
<proxy
proxyaddress="http://[proxy address]:[proxy port]"
bypassonlocal="false"
/>
</defaultProxy>
</system.net>Uninstallation
Go to 'Control Panel', 'Install/Uninstall Programs' to find the application. To fully uninstall, you will need to find and remove both of the following programs:
