Notes for Windows Desktop Workstation or Windows Server Class Machine

Files and Folders

Note

The installations follow Windows desktop workstation or Windows Server class machine best practice rules. Some of the rules enforced are: all executables must be installed in Program Files, files that require read write access cannot be installed in Program Files or Window system folders.

• All executables are located in \Program Files (x86)\TSI\Bin.
• Files and folders shared by all users requiring read and write access are located in \ProgramData\Thoroughbred Software\TSI. This includes the ObjectCache folders, Scripts folder, ToolBar folder, temp folder and others.
• Tbred.ini is and Tsiconst.ini are now located in \ProgramData\Thoroughbred Software.
• Files specific to individual users are located in the user’s roaming profile folder C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Thoroughbred Software. This includes C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Thoroughbred Software\TSI\Reports for saved TS ReportServer files (.rps). This is the default location for rps files however they can be saved any place the user has write permissions.

Fonts

The Tbred font is not supported on Windows desktop workstations or Windows Server class machines. Both TbredComm and VIP now use the DejaVu mono font as a default. TbredComm and VIP install the DejaVu font family along with a copy of its license agreement. The font is an open source project and has become the standard for many versions of Linux including recent releases of Red Hat Fedora, Ubuntu and SuSE.
