Sometimes, depending on the settings of your web browser, you may not be able to determine if the plug-in was successfully installed.
Internet Explorer may present an alert as shown in Figure 1 by the red arrow.
Regardless of whether the alert window comes up, a yellow bar will appear at the top of the site window as shown in Figure 1 by the red box.
Click the yellow box and the plug-in will install. After this, the plug-in should be ready for use within OPL.
