RSC/MP Installation and Configuration Guide

Installing RSC/MP on Windows Workstations

Installing the Windows Vista™ Client from CD

To install the Windows Vista™ client software from the CD:

1. Insert the RSC/MP Windows Vista Client CD into a drive attached to a Windows

workstation.

2. Navigate to the WS_SW folder on the CD.

3. Select one of these installation methods:

a. Install directly onto the workstation attached to the CD drive by double-clicking

on the RPSETUP.MSI file.

b. Install on multiple workstations by copying the RPSETUP.MSI file to a central

workstation that can be accessed by all workstations. Log on to each

workstation and locate the RPSETUP.MSI file on the central workstation. Either

double-click on the RPSETUP.MSI file, or select Start->Run and enter the full

path of the RPSETUP.MSI file.

c. Transfer the RPSETUP.MSI file to the NonStop and then transfer

RPSETUP.MSI to the target workstation. The file must be transferred in

BINARY mode. Log on to the workstation and locate the RPSETUP.MSI file.

Either double-click on the RPSETUP.MSI file, or select Start->Run and enter

the full path of the RPSETUP.MSI file.

4. The Windows Vista client is installed as a Windows Service as a default. This is

the only supported configuration for the Vista client. See Running the RSC/MP

Windows Vista Client as a Service on page 4-9. At time of installation, the

―Allow Service to Interact with Desktop‖ property is set by default.

5. The files after extraction are listed in subsection Files Installed on the Windows

Workstation on page 4-5.

Windows Vista™ and Windows 7 Installation Restrictions

If RSC/MP is installed under the C:\Program Files directory on a Windows Vista or

Windows 7 system, Microsoft uses "folder redirect" to protect against malware

accessing the application data files (such as pipe.ini). Therefore, at time of installation,

the pipe.ini file is redirected to a different location then the bin folder within the

installation directory. Because of this redirection, RSC/MP cannot locate the pipe.ini file

to start the services during the installation process, causing an error 1920.

The pipe.ini file will be redirected to a ―VirtualStore‖ hidden folder such as:

C:\Users\"Name"\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\...

Note. To view such folders, "Show hidden folders" needs to be selected within

Windows Explorer.
