Installing the CHKRFORM Sample Form

The Microsoft Exchange Server SDK provides the WCHECK.EXE sample form that you can install using the INSTFORM sample application. It allows two people to play a game of checkers.

To install a form in a forms library, you must prepare a .CFG file that describes the form. The CHKRFORM.CFG is included in this SDK. For more information, see The CHKRFORM.CFG File.

To install the sample form in the personal forms library

Change to the following directory:
\BKOFFICE\SAMPLES\SAMPLES\EXCHANGE\INSTFORM
Type the following command on one line:
INSTFORM /INSTALL CHKRFORM.CFG. /REGISTRY=PERSON /PROFILE=<name of profile used to set up form>
If the information displayed in the dialog box is correct, choose OK. The Installing Form message box appears.
If installation succeeds, the following message appears:
```
Form installed successfully.
```

To view the installed form

To install the sample form into the organization forms library

Start the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program.
From the Tools menu, choose Forms Administrator.
Choose New from the Organization Forms Library dialog box.
Click OK for Organization Forms Library Administrator in the Library folder name text box.
The Organization Forms Library Administrator dialog box is displayed again. Make sure Organization Forms Registry is highlighted. Click Permissions.
The Forms Library Permissions dialog box is displayed. Click Add.
Add a user to the permissions list for installing forms. The Add Users dialog box is displayed. Click the name of a user you want to add from the left list box. Click OK.
In the Forms Registry Permissions dialog box, the newly added user appears in the top list box, with the default role of Reviewer displayed. Click the Roles combination box and assign the Owner to the user. This gives that person the ability to add new forms into the organization form Registry. Click OK.
Close the Organization Forms Library Administrator dialog box.
At a command prompt, type:
INSTFORM /INSTALL CHKRFORM.CFG

In this command, <user name> is the name of the user to whom you have just given Owner permission.
