Installing the Presentation Client

The Presentation Client can be installed independently of the Component Enabler Development environment. Select Presentation Client on the main setup window to install the Presentation Client as a standalone client on a user workstation.

Notes:

If two instances of the installation wizard appear, close one instance.
The Presentation Client is installed by default with the Component Enabler Development environment. A development workstation does not need to re-install the Presentation Client using this option.

The Presentation Client can also be configured on a Web server to run as an applet within a browser client. Refer to ???.

Requirements

For both standalone client and browser client modes, you require a network machine with TCP/IP services installed.

Standalone Client

The following operating systems have been tested and are supported for use with the Presentation Client:

Windows 10 Enterprise (x64), Professional (x64)
Windows Server 2019 Standard, Datacenter
Windows Server 2016 Standard, Datacenter
Apple Macintosh OS X

The Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE) Version 1.6 or later is required on the client workstation.

Browser Client

The following table shows some additional requirements for the Presentation Client running in a browser:

Requirement	Description
Browser	Microsoft Internet Explorer 11.0 or later. All other browsers including mobile browsers. *Note:* If using Macintosh, you require Safari 3.1.2 or later. Browser-based Presentation Client runs in the browser as a Java Applet. Java Applet support has been officially terminated for Chrome (45 onwards), Edge, and most of the other modern browsers through the end of support of NPAPI on those browsers. Therefore, browser-based Presentation Client will only run on Internet Explorer 11 until support for Java applets or Internet Explorer is terminated. It is recommended that you use the ASP.NET and JSP clients as browser-based Component Enabler client alternatives, or consider distributing the desktop-based Presentation Client, which continues to be supported.
Java Plug-in	Oracle Java Plug-in Version 1.6 or later.
