Standard Installation Method: Dual Boot with
Microsoft Windows XP
VDI Blaster Dell Edition can be used without the risk of erasing your existing
Windows installation. To install VDI Blaster, just execute the installer on the
system you want to repurpose. After installation, the system reboots by default
in thin client mode, running VDI Blaster.
In this mode, repurposed systems can be managed with Devon IT's Echo
Management Console Dell Edition. It is still possible to reboot repurposed
systems in Windows XP mode and uninstall VDI Blaster to return the system to
its initial configuration (with Windows XP as the only operating system).
The standard installation method for VDI Blaster is the VDI Blaster MSI file,
dell-vdiblaster-installer.msi
Using this installer, VDI Blaster can be installed without erasing the existing XP
installation. Uninstall it at any time to revert the system back to its normal
Windows OS boot mode.
