What is ResearchSoft Direct Export Helper?
ResearchSoft Direct Export Helper (or Web Export Helper in earlier versions of EndNote). This application identifies the file of references that are being exported from the database, and chooses the appropriate EndNote filter, and imports the references into your library. Some databases are able to export references in a format which can be automatically recognised by EndNote and imported directly into an EndNote library. Your EndNote software includes a helper application called ResearchSoft Direct Export Helper (or Web Export Helper in earlier versions of EndNote).
Overview
Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The primary executable is named Risweb32.exe. The setup package generally installs about 5 files and is usually about 752.5 KB (770,556 bytes).
