1. The PeopleZen Setup Package

The PeopleZen setup package (the roxority_PeopleZen.zip file) is a zipped archive containing:

• Deploy.exe - A graphical user interface (GUI) setup wizard for installing and deploying, or retracting and uninstalling PeopleZen to and from a SharePoint server farm, to be run by a farm administrator user on the primary SharePoint farm or web front-end server.
• docs - A folder containing this product documentation in Microsoft Compiled HTML (CHM) and plain HTML formats.
• Additional supporting files that are required for Deploy.exe to run and must neither be modified nor removed.

2. Installing the PeopleZen Solution Package

Run Deploy.exe and when the Welcome screen is displayed, click Next to start a series of system checks. To proceed with the installation, all system checks need to succeed:

Click Next and on the following screen, select the Web Applications to deploy PeopleZen to. You can also de-select those Site Collections you do not want the setup wizard, upon successful deployment, to activate the Web Part Feature immediately for you on. (Even when PeopleZen is deployed in a Web Application, before you can add and start using the PeopleZen User Profiles Web Part on Web Part Pages inside a web site, the People Web Part Feature needs to be activated for the parent Site Collection, as described in the Feature Activation section below. For now, the setup wizard performs these activations for you.)

Click Next to start the installation and wait for the deployment jobs and Feature activation to complete. This process can take up to a few minutes.

After deployment and Feature activation have completed, review the installation log:

Once you have successfully completed the setup wizard, you can start using the PeopleZen User Profiles Web Part on Web Part Pages inside the previously selected Site Collections immediately.

3. Activating the Site Collection Feature

The PeopleZen User Profiles Web Part is a SharePoint Site Collection-scoped Feature, which needs to be 'activated' on each Site Collection it is to be used in.

1. Start from the Web Part Page you want to use the Web Part on. Select Site Settings from the Site Actions menu.
2. The Site Settings page contains the Site Collection Administration section. In this section, click the Site collection features link. If it doesn't exist, click the Go to top level site settings link in the Site Collection Administration section instead, and on the root web's Site Settings page now displayed, click the Site Collection Features link inside the Site Collection Administration section.
3. The Site Collection Features page should contain a row titled PeopleZen Web Part.
   • If it does, click the Activate button to make the Web Part available to all web sites, Web Part galleries and Web Part Pages inside this site collection; or click the Deactivate button to disable the Web Part throughout this site collection.
     • Note: if you do deactivate the Site Collection Feature, existing PeopleZen Web Parts will continue to work: the feature activation status only controls whether the Web Part is available inside your Site Web Part Galleries.
     
   • If the row doesn't exist, the PeopleZen solution package was not yet deployed to this web application. On the System Settings page (Operations in SharePoint 2007) in the Central Administration, click Manage Farm Solutions (Solution management in SharePoint 2007). On the Solution Management page, click roxority_peoplezen_xiv.wsp (roxority_peoplezen_xii.wsp in SharePoint 2007) to open the Solution Properties page. Click Deploy Solution, then select this Site Collection's parent web application and click OK. (The deployment is delegated to a background job scheduled to run either at the date and time specified, or as soon as possible. Once started, it may take this job up to a few minutes to finish deployment.)
