MORE INFORMATION

The Windows Journal Viewer version 1.5 makes it possible for you to view notes and templates that were created in Microsoft Windows Journal on the Tablet PC.

The supported languages must be installed by both Windows MUI Pack and the MUI Package for Windows Journal Viewer to display correctly.

Scripting Options for Windows Journal Viewer and MUI Package

Because the installation technology that is used for both the Windows Journal Viewer and MUI Package for Windows Journal is MSI, you can use a stand-alone or administrative installation.

For more information about command-line options that you can use with the Windows Installer, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msi/setup/command_line_options.asp

For example, to install the Windows Journal Viewer without any user intervention, use the setup.exe /c:"msiexec /i ""Microsoft Windows Journal Viewer.msi"" /q" command. For example, to install the MUI Package for Windows Journal Viewer without any user intervention, use the mui_journalviewer.exe /c:"msiexec /i ""JournalViewerMUISetup.msi"" /q" command.

Windows Journal Viewer was built off of the same code base as the Windows Journal program that is included in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. Because of this, components that are loaded by Windows Journal are also loaded when you use the Windows Journal Viewer on Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The Wisptis.exe process will be loaded and resident in memory.

Because the Windows Journal Viewer cannot determine if any other programs also need access to this process, it continues to run after all instances of the Journal Viewer have been closed.
