Client Installation

Note

All Thoroughbred Windows based products prior to Version 8.8.0 must first be uninstalled and then the 8.9.1 release installed. BEFORE continuing with this installation, please see the Client Uninstallation section of this manual for instructions to properly prepare your system for 8.9.1.

A single VIP Client setup is used for all VIP products. The procedure is the same regardless of the bundle you purchased.

Except for Gateway for Windows, the WorkStation Manager is always installed. Some WorkStation Manger options may not be applicable depending upon the product bundle you purchased.

All installations and activations must be run with Administrator privileges. Once fully installed and activated the products can be run using standard user accounts.

1. Login using an Administrator account.

2. Execute the appropriate setup for the target workstation.

   If you are installing on a Windows desktop workstation or Windows Server class machine run setup_VIP_7plus.exe.

3. The InstallShield Wizard will start the installation and guide you through the rest of the process.

Microsoft Prerequisites

The installation will first check the target workstation to determine if the required Microsoft prerequisites are present. If they are not, you will be prompted to install them. You must install the prerequisites if the install dialog prompts you to do so. When that installation is complete, the VIP installation will continue automatically

Please restart your system before running VIP.

If you had uninstalled a previous version of VIP for Dictionary-IV, recover the saved files as described in the Client Uninstallation section of this manual. If you installed on a Windows desktop workstation or Windows Server class machine the directories are located in C:\ProgramData\Thoroughbred Software\TSI. The installation process automatically recovers your Tbred.ini settings for you.
