Installing the
Download Manager software
in a network envoronment
These instructions will help a site administrator (such as an IT manager) configure their network to support multiple users accessing e-papers from a central network location.
Download Manager Configuration
Download and install the Download Manager to a machine running on the corporate network
Configure the Download Manager to download e-papers to a network server:
Right click on the Download Manager running in the system tray and select Options
In the Store e-papers in box, type the path to the network location
If you want to store e-papers in a “papers” directory on the winsvr machine, the path would be \\winsvr\papers
For mapped drives, use the drive name as in Z:\papers
Alternatively, click the Browse button and select the location using the file explorer
Zinio Reader Configuration
Configuring the Zinio Reader to work with a network location requires making changes to the Windows registry. hanges made to the Windows registry happen immediately, and no backup is automatically made. Do not edit the Windows registry unless you are confident about doing so.
Microsoft has issued the following warning with respect to the Registry Editor: “Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to re-install Windows to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.”
To continue making the changes necessary to the Zinio Reader:
- Shut down the Zinio Reader application if it is running
- Click Start, Run, and type regedit in the run box
- In the Registry Editor application, navigate to:
- My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Zinio\Reader\Preferences
- Double click the MyMagsDir registry key
- Change the value to the location of the e-papers directory, such as \\winsvr\papers
- Close the Registry Editor
- Restart Zinio Reader and check that the library reflects the e-papers in the shared directory
