Advice on Downloads
The V3 Ballot Packages are comprised of several files and documents that hyperlink to one another. To ensure that the hyperlinks work, we recommend that you download the full package. If you decide not to download the entire package, be advised that hyperlinks to documents that you've not downloaded will not work. This package contains hundreds of files, making the process time consuming based on the connection speed you have to the internet. A high speed line will yield about a 20 minute download and slower (56k or less) will take several hours). Once downloaded, the installation only takes about another 5-10 mintues.The Core files download provides all the Foundation Documents for the ballot (except the XML ITS Specification, UML ITS Datatypes Specification and Transport Protocols) and all the support files needed in order for domain downloads to work.
When downloading any of the available packages, for convenience, you may wish to create a directory for the downloads, although this is not required. Also, be sure to allow for quite a bit of space on your hard drive, especially for the larger packages. The Full packages extracts to about 350 Megabytes.
Advice on Installation
Once any of the packages have been downloaded from the HL7 web site, you must use a .zip decompression program to open the .zip file to retrieve its contents.When you unzip the files you download, you should create a central "root" directory on your hard drive to which you will then extract the zip file contents. Once established, you should only use that directory for future installations or patches. If you do not, there is always the risk that hyperlinks connecting the documents will not work. We recommend setting up a directory named based on the ballot you are reviewing, in this case "C:\HL7V3BALLOT_AUG2004", for example.
Once completed, find the sub-directory where you installed the files. You will see an HTML directory if that is the version of the package you downloaded. In there is an INDEX.HTM file. This is your launching point to the site.
