Installing PTC RV&S Client From DVD
On Windows and on certain Linux systems, the PTC RV&S DVD wizard starts automatically. To start the wizard manually, open index.html in the root.
If you do not want to use the wizard, you can run mksclient.exe or mksclient.bin, which are located on the PTC RV&S DVD in the platform-specific /installs/client directory.
• Installation allows you to install the PTC RV&S server, PTC RV&S client, FLEXnet license server, and PTC RV&S Agent.
◦ For Windows, run or save the PTC RV&S client installation program (mksclient.exe).

Before installing PTC RV&S on Windows, ensure you preserve existing system settings by manually creating a system restore point. Creating a restore point allows for system restoration in the case of error. For information on creating restore points, refer to www.microsoft.com and find the restore procedure for the version of Windows you are running.

◦ For Linux platforms, complete the following steps:
▪ Copy mksclient.bin to a temporary directory on your server computer.
▪ Make sure the environment variable $DISPLAY is set, if appropriate.
▪ To make mksclient.bin executable, run:
chmod +x mksclient.bin
▪ To run the installation, type:
./mksclient.bin
Notes about installing on Linux:
▪ Install the PTC RV&S client as a non-root user, if non-root users are running the PTC RV&S client.
▪ PC X-Servers are not certified. Only if your PC X-server provides full support for Xwindows, will the PTC RV&S client operate.
