RSAP Installation Tips
    Tip #1 I get lots of serious security messages when I try to install RSAPv3 from the webpage. Is it safe to do?
 
 
 
Tip #2  I downloaded RSAPv3 and the workbook opened but the RSAP Controls Dialog box doesn't' show up.
 
 
 
Tip #3  Can I still install RSAP if I don't have administrative privileges on my computer?
  1. Select the appropriate zip file to download on the install page. 
  2. A message box will appear at the bottom of you browser asking if you want to Open, Save or Cancel — chose “Open.”
    A window will appear with the WinZip interface.  Select “Unzip” and a file browser dialog box appears.  Navigate to the Desktop and then choose “New Folder.”
  3. Name the new folder “RSAPv3” and then double click to go into it.
  4. Now press the “Unzip” button on the bottom right of the screen.  A download progress bar will appear and then a file directory of your new folder (i.e., RSAPv3”) will open up.
  5. Double click RSAPv3_121024.xltm to start RSAP.  You may get the Security message discussed in Tip 2.  If so select “Enable Editing.”  If you don’t see the RSAP controls dialog box use the key stroke CTRL+s (i.e., press the control key and the s key at the same time) to start RSAP.
  6. Once RSAPv3 is running, select the “Settings” tab and choose the “Change RSAP Home Directory Button.”  A file dialog browser will pop up.  Navigate to and select the directory where you unzipped the files (i.e., Desktop\RSAPv3).  Select “OK” .  On the “Project information” worksheet at the very bottom you should see your selection listed.  If this is correct you should have full access to the User and Engineer Manuals as well as the help files.
  7. There is one known bug with this method — the help file does not seem to unzip properly so you may get a distorted help file or no help file at all.
