A Word About Installation
The VISTA module you purchase  either VISTA or VISTA Plus for MPE  is installed
automatically along with NBSpool. For information on installing NBSpool, refer to either the
NBSpool for MPE Reference Guide or the NBSpool for MPE Demonstration Guide.
If you are using VISTA Plus for Windows MPE, you must install it on each PC that will be used as
a VISTA Plus client. You must also install VISTA Plus for MPE on the MPE host that will be used
as the VISTA Plus server for all Windows clients:
• For information on installing the VISTA Plus for Windows, see the VISTA Plus for Windows
MPE User’s Guide.
• For information on basic installation of the VISTA Plus server, refer to either the NBSpool for
MPE Reference Guide or the NBSpool for MPE Demonstration Guide (VISTA Plus for MPE is
installed along with NBSpool). Then, refer to chapter two of this guide for additional
procedures that must be performed on the server for VISTA Plus Windows client.
Note. Administrator functions for all three versions of the VISTA application consist of
managing the users, folders, and reports that are used in VISTA Plus on-line report
viewing. Administrator functions are essentially the same for all three versions.
However, there are several administrator procedures that are unique to VISTA Plus for
Windows MPE. These are covered in Chapter 2 of this guide.
