Installing Project Mentor for use within operating systems other than 
Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (or later), or Windows Vista.

1) Introduction

Unlike Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Vista (XPSP2/Vista), older versions of Microsoft 
operating systems have less extensive secutity settings that make for a simpler installation of 
Project Mentor.  You therefore have two installation choices:

2) Install option (A) - Project Mentor to be accessed ONLY by Internet Explorer

If you are unable (or do not wish) to run Project Mentor within the user interface 
of Microsoft Project 2007, 2003 or 2002, choose install option A.  This will install Project
Mentor to your C: drive.  You will run Project Mentor from your Start menu.  

3) Install option (B) - Project Mentor to to be accessed within both Microsoft Project 
2007/2003/2002 and Internet Explorer

Project Mentor has been carefully designed to take advantage of the Project Guide 
functionality within Microsoft Project 2007/2003/2002.  As such, you can switch between
Microsoft Project and Project Mentor without leaving the Microsoft Project environment.
This option provides a richer and more seamless learning environment than using
Internet Explorer.

If you choose install option B, Project Mentor will be installed into a default folder
on your C: drive. You should then follow the instructions within the Project_Mentor_MSP.pdf
document to integrate Project Mentor within Microsoft Project. 

Technical considerations for integrating Project Mentor within Microsoft Project:


	i) 	The installation process will create a shortcut within the Start menu to 
		run Project Mentor. Ideally, you should only access Project Mentor by using 
		its toolbar within Microsoft Project. If you are unable to define a trusted 
		site (see ii below), you can access Project Mentor and gain access to your 
		Personal Learning Plan (PLP) by using the Start menu and Internet Explorer.
		
	ii)	When you access your Personal Learning Plan (PLP), you will be accessing 
		the internet and passing data to and from a Project Learning server. 
		This is perfectly normal.  To enable this within a Microsoft Project 
		environment, the website http://www.jgaconsult.co.uk (where the PLP 
		database is located) needs to be made a trusted site.  Instructions 
		on how to do this can be found within the Project_Mentor_MSP.pdf document.
		If you are unable (or do not wish) to allow the creation of a trusted site, 
		you should use the Start menu and Internet Explorer to access your PLP.
