    Creating the Versions Manifest File

    This information is not applicable to Primo VE environments. For more details on Primo VE configuration, see Primo VE.
    The PrimoToolbarManifest.xml file allows you to apply version information to your Primo Toolbar Installation packages to be used when determining if a user has the latest version of the Toolbar installed. If a later version exists, the user is prompted to download the new version from the location specified in the Installation Path field.
    After an update to the PrimoToolbarManifest.xml file, place the file on the Primo server in the following directory (fe_conf), where <r> indicates the release in which Primo was initially installed and <x> indicates the instance number of the Primo installation:
    /exlibris/primo/p<r>_<x>/ng/primo/home/system/search/conf
    To create the versions manifest file:
    1. Run the Primo Toolbar Version Manifest Utility from Start > Programs > Primo Toolbar Administration to create the version manifest file.
