DITA Open Toolkit "Deployment" in XMetaL Author Enterprise 5.5 (and later)

[Derek Read]

Symptom:
If you make changes to the XSLT/XSL-FO/configs in the DITA Open Toolkit installed with the 5.5 and later releases of XMetaL Author Enterprise they may not take effect when you generate output.

Cause:
In order to support Vista and limited users on XP, the DITA OT that we install is actually copied to a per-user location before generating output for the first time.

Solution:
Strategies for dealing with this are covered within another thread:
