QAD .NET UI Client Requirements
Operating Systems
The QAD .NET UI client runs on Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 (desktop mode; non-touch). It can run on 64-bit Windows, but only in 32-bit mode. The QAD .NET UI client also runs on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit.
Client Software
The QAD .NET UI client requires the following:
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, 8, or 9.
Note: The 64-bit version of Internet Explorer will not install the QAD .NET UI client, even if you are running Internet Explorer as an administrator. You must use the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer (typically located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe) to install the QAD .NET UI client. A situation in which this is likely to occur is when a user inadvertently creates a shortcut to the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer rather than the 32-bit version, and then uses that shortcut to launch Internet Explorer.
• Adobe Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) plug-in for the Process Editor. The QAD .NET UI’s Process Editor requires SVG but the Process Viewer can use either Silverlight (the default) or SVG.
If using Internet Explorer 8 or 9, please note the following:
• Print Preview for process maps is not supported and the process maps do not print correctly.
• Drop-down lists in the Process Editor can be slightly misaligned with the field box.
Note the following when editing and viewing process maps in Internet Explorer:
• With Internet Explorer 8 and 9, Print Preview is not supported for process maps and they do not print correctly.
• By default, the Process Viewer uses Silverlight rather than SVG.
• The Process Editor uses SVG.
Important: Internet Explorer 8 and 9 do not include the Adobe SVG plugin, which is required for using the QAD .NET UI’s Process Editor. If using Internet Explorer 8 or 9, you will need to install the SVG plugin. If you have not installed the SVG plugin on your local machine, the Process Editor will display an error message when you try to edit a process map.
QAD includes the SVG plugin with QAD .NET UI in the client directory on the home server (in HomeServerURL/client/SVGView.exe) and includes it with the QAD .NET UI client when the client is installed. For example, you can find it here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\QAD\QAD Enterprise Applications\SVGView.exe
After installing SVG, restart the QAD .NET UI and open the Process Editor. After a moment, it will ask you to verify the use of SVG, and then you can proceed to use the Process Editor.
