CAUTION: Installation Restrictions
Notes
Do NOT attempt to install the Windows client
package if . . .
The package can only be installed on workstations running a
32-bit operating system. You can still install most drivers and
tools on a workstation with a 64-bit operating system, but you
must install them individually. If a 64-bit version of a driver is
available, you must use that version.
The client workstation where you plan to install it
uses a 64-bit operating system.
Installing the Windows client package on a workstation running
Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 is not supported. The client
package can be used only with these operating systems:
• Windows XP
• Windows Vista
• Windows Server 2003 SP2
The client workstation is running an unsupported
operating system (for example, Windows 7 or
Windows Server 2008).
A workaround in this case is to run a standalone .NET
Framework 3.5 installer on the workstation before the client
package is installed.
The client workstation is behind a firewall or has
no Internet connectivity, and the client workstation
also does not have the Microsoft .NET Framework
3.5 or later.
The client workstation is a virtual machine.
Step 2 of “Installing the Package” (page 9) describes the
installation of these components.
Installation of one or more prerequisite components
fails.
You must be an administrator to install and use the Windows
client package.
You intend to use the client workstation while
logged on as a non-administrator user.
You must completely uninstall any older version of the
Windows client package before installing the Release 2.5 version
of the Windows client package. See “Uninstalling an Older
Version of the Neoview Windows Client Package” (page 6).
An older version of the Windows client package is
currently installed on the workstation.
Checking Version Compatibility
Before installing the client product, you must check that the product is compatible with the
version of the Neoview release installed on the Neoview platform.
For all client products, refer to the Neoview Client and Platform Compatibility Reference for version
compatibility information. This document is available at http://www.hp.com/go/neoviewdocs.
