Installing Viz World Client

Viz World Client (WoC) is used to integrate maps and geographical data into scenes. Its components are Map Designer, Map Builder, World Map Editor, Map Editor Classic. For Viz Engine Map plugins see the separate Viz Engine Maps Plugin installer.

Viz World Client (WoC) installs new components in the following place:

  • C:\Program Files\vizrt\common

Select the installer settings that correspond to your Viz Engine (32-bit or 64-bit). Use the bundle installer (which includes both 32-bit and 64-bit) for easier installation of Viz Trio/Viz Pilot/Viz Weather clients when combined with a 64-bit Viz Engine.

There are two ways of installing the client:

  • The standard installation: that requires the user to perform and confirm all actions during the installation.

  • Silent installation: that enables the user to install Viz World Client without using the installer’s dialog boxes.

Viz World Client may run in a virtualized environment.
