Requirements for using WebClient

To successfully install and use a WebClient application, the end user's machine requires the following:

  • Microsoft Windows 8.1 or later
  • Sufficient disk space for the WebClient and the application files
    Note: During installation, you should shut down non-essential programs and processes to free up DLLs.
  • Appropriate write privileges for installation and upgrades

    The standard model assumes that the WebClient automatically checks for and installs upgrades when it runs. Any end user has privileges to upgrade their personal WebClient installations. However, an administrator must grant certain privileges to non-administrators to enable them to upgrade an Administrator WebClient installation. If the end users are not granted those privileges, an administrator would need to arrange batch jobs with proper privileges to keep the WebClient application up-to-date.
