Installing Viz World Client

Viz World Client (WoC) is used to integrate maps and geographical data into scenes. Its components are the Map Designer , Map Builder, World Map Editor, Map Editor Classic and design plugins.

Viz World Client (WoC) installs new components in the following places (if Viz Engine is already installed).

  • Viz 3.x (C:\Program Files\vizrt\viz3)

  • Common files (C:\Program Files\vizrt\common) (components are installed here only if Viz Engine is not installed)

Select the installer settings that correspond to your Viz Engine (ie. 32 or 64-bit).

Use the bundle installer (which includes both 32 and 64-bit) for easier installation of Viz Trio/Viz Pilot/Viz Weather clients when combining with a 64-bit Viz Engine.

There are two ways of installing the client; a standard installation which requires the user to perform and confirm all actions during the installation, or a silent installation that enables the user to install Viz World Client without using the installer’s dialog boxes.

This section contains information on the following topics:

To install Viz World Client

  1. Double-click the VizWorldClient_17x.x.x.msi installer to start the installation

  2. In the Setup Type window, select Typical, and click Next

  3. Select the Yes, I want to restart my computer now option

  4. Click Finish.
