Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-based tools (Host Integration Server Designer, which requires .NET Framework 4.8) for generating required metadata files. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives mentioned for these critical steps, and the prerequisites and setup instructions assume a Windows environment. No Linux-specific guidance or parity is provided.
Recommendations
  • Provide information about whether the Host Integration Server Designer or equivalent tooling is available for Linux or via cross-platform means (e.g., .NET Core, containerized solutions).
  • If no Linux-native tooling exists, explicitly state this limitation and suggest possible workarounds (such as using a Windows VM or container).
  • Include Linux-specific instructions or examples where possible, especially for steps like file management, installation, and workflow integration.
  • Consider developing or recommending cross-platform tools for generating HIDX files to improve accessibility for non-Windows users.
  • Clarify in the prerequisites section that the current tooling is Windows-only, and provide links or guidance for Linux users to set up the necessary environment.
