Install notes
- R7.Documents module peacefully co-exists with the original DNN Documents in the same DNN installation, on the same page, etc.
- Russian localization resources will be installed along with english ones. If you don't need this, just delete all *.ru-RU.resx files from /DesktopModules/R7.Documents/R7.Documents.Dnn/App_LocalResouces folder or modify Resouces.zip in the install package accordingly.
