Install Options

NOTE: None of these are required to use the add-in, but they are designed to allow for easier installation and use.

Setting	Default (Setting)	Description
Trust Add-In Folder	Default: On	During installation, the VCS Addin install folder will be added as a trusted location in Microsoft Access/Office. This allows Access to load the Add-In correctly in some protected setups, and will enable faster loading in others. The default install location is C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\MSAccessVCS\
Advanced Options	Default: Off	In some protected computing environments you may need to select additional options. See below for more details.

Setting	Default (Setting)	Description
Use Ribbon Addin	Default: On	With Version 4 and up the addin and most features can be directly launched with a custom ribbon.
	On	Install the ribbon and load to Access's ribbon. The ribbon will automatically load when Access loads, making launching version control much simpler.
	Off	Do not install the Ribbon. You can still load the Addin after installation by going to [Database Tools]>[Add-Ins]>[VCS Open] or [VCS Export All Source].
Open add-in after installing to trust the add-in file	Default: Off	In some protected computing environments (I.e. Government, Banking), the Add-In must be opened from the install location to be properly trusted. This option will open the add-in file immediately after install, and give you the opportunity to trust the file.
Install Folder		By default, the addin will be installed to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\MSAccessVCS\. If you need to select an alternate location for installation due to your development environment, security settings, etc., you can change the installation Folder. WARNING: You MUST completely uninstall the Addin prior to changing the installation folder. Failure to do this may lead to unexpected issues and difficulty removing the addin.
