If you are an administrator for your local computer and want to install CELUM Drive desktop app with its full functionality, then you can use the downloaded .exe installation file for this. The .exe installer installs the complete functionality, including context menu and icon overlays, which need administrator permissions.

With the .exe installer, CELUM Drive desktop app is installed in your computer's Program Files directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\CELUM Drive), which also needs administrator permissions.

1. Execute the CELUM Drive installer (named CELUM Drive <version>.exe)

2. The installation wizard leads you through the installation process.

If you have no administrator rights on your local computer and want to install the CELUM Drive desktop app, you can still do so with a .msi installation file. However, this installer does not install functionality that requires administrator permissions, like context menu and icon overlays.

With the .msi installer, the CELUM Drive desktop app is installed in your local user's directory (e.g. C:\Users\<Your local user>\AppData\Local\Programs\celum-drive\ ), which does not need administrator rights.

1. CELUM will provide the .msi installer for you upon request.

2. Execute the CELUM Drive installer (named CELUM Drive<version>.msi ).

3. The installation wizard leads you through the installation process.

4. To have the icon overlays and context menu functionality for the Windows^® Explorer installed, contact your system administrator. The instructions are included below.

Install icon overlays and context menu functionality

As the system administrator for your company, you can roll out the additional functionality to all users of your company who have CELUM Drive desktop app installed on their local computers:

1. Download the "drive-plugins-win-release-1.x.zip" ZIP archive from hub.celum.cloud.

2. Extract the ZIP archive to a non-temporary location. The package contains the two handler files for the Explorer functionality:

   • CelumIconOverlays.dll

   • ContextMenu.dll

   The other files in the archive are dependencies required by the handler assemblies.

3. Open a command line (cmd.exe) as Administrator.

4. Execute AsmReg.exe to register and install the file icon overlay handler:

   C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\<version>\RegAsm.exe /codebase <shellExtDir>\CelumIconOverlays.DLL

   Replace the placeholders in the command with actual values

   Replace the <shellExtDir> placeholder in the command with the actual path to the extracted ZIP archive.

   Replace the <version> placeholder in the command with the actual latest version of your Microsoft.NET framework.

5. Execute AsmReg.exe to register and install the context menu handler:
   

   C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\<version>\RegAsm.exe /codebase <shellExtDir>\ContextMenu.DLL

   Replace the placeholders in the command with actual values

   Replace the <shellExtDir> placeholder in the command with the actual path to the extracted ZIP archive.

   Replace the <version> placeholder in the command with the actual latest version of your Microsoft.NET framework.

6. After the registration, restart Windows^® Explorer (explorer.exe). Afterwards, users should see the icon overlays and CELUM Drive context menu entries.

1. Execute the CELUM Drive desktop app application (named CELUM Drive <version>.dmg).
