enaio® client

enaio® • 10.10 »

This MSI package for the installation of enaio® client allows enaio® client to be conveniently installed and updated. It is also suited for installation using software distribution tools on the computers of multiple users without any user input.

MSI installations require administrator rights and should be carried out using an administrator command line when user account control is enabled.

For installation of the MSI package, the enaio® server that is set up and all core services must be running and accessible, and the MSI package to be installed must have the same version as the running system.

The MSI package enaio_client_ansi.msi or enaio_client_unicode.msi can be found under the \Frontend\ directory in the installation data.

Note that configuration with command line parameters is not supported by all software distribution tools. For example, policy-based software distribution in an Active Directory does not support passing command line parameters.

Installation Requirements

Before installing the MSI package, the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package must be installed on all computers in the version corresponding to your operating system language.

In addition, .NET Framework 4.8 (or higher) is required for the installation of the MSI package.

By default, the installation will not check whether these requirements are met. You can enable the requirement check with the command line parameter CHECK_PREREQUISITE=1.

Installation – The Configuration File asinit.cfg

The installation installs the asinit.cfg configuration file from the same directory. This file requires the connection data to the server and may contain other optional parameters:

  • The 'SERVER#PORT' placeholder can be replaced by the connection data in the enclosed configuration file. The configuration file may contain other optional parameters. It is then installed as edited.

  • If no changes are made, localhost#4000 is entered in the installed configuration file. The server and port must be added.
  • Alternatively, the server and port can be entered via command line parameters during installation. The data is entered into the installed configuration file: msiexec.exe /i "C:\enaio Clientinstallation.msi" SERVER_IP=10.10.10.10 SERVER_PORT=4000

By default, the MSI package installs in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\OPTIMAL SYSTEMS\OSECM\clients\.

Updating and Uninstalling

Updates are carried out via the corresponding MSI package, while uninstallations are performed in the Windows Control Panel.

AxPreview

Installing enaio® client will also install AxPreview. AxPreview can show a preview of enaio® documents in the Windows Explorer preview window when an OS file is selected.

AxPreview requires Windows components that are part of the Chromium version of Microsoft Edge. If this version is not installed on the workstation, then these components must be installed later. To do this, use MicrosoftEdgeWebView2RuntimeInstallerX64.exe or MicrosoftEdgeWebView2RuntimeInstallerX86.exe located in the directories of the enaio® client MSI packages.
