Installation Guide Updated for the current release.

 

Install VX User Directory

 

Use this form to install a user directory. This directory will contain the necessary application files to execute and operate VX. At least one user directory per version of VX is required. Each user (even a single user) should operate VX from a unique user directory. Each user can also install multiple user directories.
  

Install VX User Directory
 

 

  1. The default user directory is displayed. You can accept it, enter a different user directory or pick Browse to display the Directory Browser to locate and select the user directory.

    If you select a user directory using the Directory Browser, the path "\VXCorp\User1" will be appended to the selected path and will be displayed in the window.
     

  2. New in VX Two additional options are now available that allows you to modify the User Directory configuration.  Each is listed below.

    - Creates a minimal user directory and the shortcut launches VX in viewer mode.
    Install minimal user directory
    - Create a user directory that only contains the minimal number of files necessary to run VX. It will not copy any resource and training files.


    The minimal user directory option creates a user directory that only contains the minimal number of files necessary to run VX. It will not copy all of the resource and training files as is done for the regular user directory.
