Compatibility

ProLaw 2015 is not officially compatible with Office 2016 or Adobe Acrobat X.


Prerequisites 

The following must be installed before ProLaw can be run the first time:

  • Adobe Acrobat
  • Office
  • .NET Framework 3.5

To install the .NET 3.5 Framework, go to Programs & Features in the control panel, and toggle it on in the Windows Features dialog.


Setup

⚠️ The ProLawLocal shortcut is now deployed to user's desktop's automatically via GPO.


Note: On Prolaw 2017.2 and earlier, the user must have local administrator privileges. You can remove the privileges after the below steps if wanted.

  1. Create a shortcut on the user's desktop to the ProLawLocal.exe executable in the network share.
  2. Run the shortcut as an Administrator. ProLaw will install the Adobe & Office addons.
  3. Close out of ProLaw.
  4. Run ProLaw from the shortcut again, this time not as an Administrator. If you get no errors and ProLaw opens, you're good.
    1. If you get an error about needing to run as an administrator for the Office Addins to install, close out of ProLaw and run the attached registry file. Then re-launch ProLaw and that should suppress the error.
