Installation

To Install Viz Mosart

Download all relevant Viz Mosart Installation Files to your preferred location.
If you are upgrading from an earlier Viz Mosart version it is recommended to take a backup of your current installation settings before you start the installation of the new version. See Backing-up Viz Mosart above.
Double-click the installation files (msi or exe).
Follow the prompts to complete installation.
When installing the main file VizMosartServer-n.n.n.nnnnn.exe, you can specify NRCS type.

Note: All three (MOS, iNEWS and Combined) Viz Mosart Manus Administrator entities are always installed. The selection made with the NRCS Type drop-down decides which of these three, the Manus Administrator shortcut shall point to.

Version Numbering

Installation folders are named with the Viz Mosart version number. All files inside that folder also have the corresponding version number attached to the filename.

Version numbers have the following syntax:

Major.Minor.Revision.Build (for example 5.4.5.12345)

Where:

Major.Minor.Revision denotes the Viz Mosart Version Number
Build denotes a patch number

Example: Installers\5.4.5.12345\VizMosartServer-5.4.5.12345.msi

In this example, the computer has a folder for the Viz Mosart 5.4.5.12345 release, containing associated installers.
Every significant code change of Viz Mosart results in a change to the Viz Mosart version number. This increases either the major, minor, or revision number.

Patches are identified by having a higher build number than the remainder of the files.
