1. Install and register Balsamiq Mockups on the server that hosts Approval Manager. Make sure you install Balsamiq Mockups as a local user. Domain accounts are not currently supported by Approval Manager.

If you are logged in as a domain user and want to install Balsamiq as a local user, you can use the Windows runas command line utility to install it as a local user.

2. Run Balsamiq Mockups at least once as a local user (by logging in as a local user or using the Windows runas command line utility), making sure to register it and update Adobe Air if required.

Approval Manager does not support trial versions of Balsamiq.

3. In Approval Manager, configure Spark! as the proofer for the .bmml file type. A dialog message will appear.

You can read more about changing file type association by reading Proofer File Type Associations.

4. Click the configuration link. The Balsamiq Mockups Rendering Configuration window will open.

5. Follow the instructions, click Configure, and test the Balsamiq rendering.

From time to time Balsamiq mockups may stop rendering in Spark!. If this happens, try running Spark! on the server and see if Adobe Air needs updating.
