RSC/MP Installation and Configuration Guide

Installing RSC/MP on Windows Workstations
Installing the Windows Vista™ Client from CD
To avoid this folder redirection, the following should be done:
1. Install RSC/MP as "THE Administrator" on the system, NOT a USER with
Administrator privileges.
OR
1. Set PIPEINI environment variable to point to intended installation directory. For
example, c:\Program Files\RSC\bin\pipe.ini.
2. Open a DOS command window as an Administrator (window will display
"Administrator: Command Prompt" in the title).
3. Change to the directory where the RPSETUP.MSI file is located and execute it
manually from the DOS prompt. Do NOT attempt to run the RPSETUP.MSI file from
within Windows Explorer even if you opened Windows Explorer as an Administrator
since the folder redirect would then occur.
4. Enter valid settings with the configuration wizard to create a pipe.ini file (i.e. set the
domain name, system name and valid port number).
5. The pipe.ini file should be written to the selected installation directory (i.e.
C:\Program Files\RSC\bin) and NOT redirected to a folder such as
C:\Users\"Name"\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\...
Note. The same issue exists with running the "Configure RSC" option from the start
menu. In order to avoid the folder redirection, rscconfig.exe would need to be run
manually from a DOS window run as an administrator.
