HTML Calculated Column - Installation

Download the appropriate installation file and run from any SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) server.

Select the Install Your Software button to install.

The automatic installer will verify some prerequisites (such as the SharePoint administration service is running) and if everything is ok will Install and Deploy the software to all Web Front End servers in your farm.

To remove the web part you can run the installer again and you will be given the option to remove.

The HTML Calculated Column is a Custom Column; these are classed as Farm Solutions in SharePoint, and so will not appear as Site Features.

If you want to check that HTMLCC has installed and been deployed look under: System Settings > Farm Management > Manage Farm Solutions. If you see it there marked as deployed, then when you create a new column on a list you will get the option of setting the type to Pentalogic HTML Calculated Column.
