Manual Installation

When installing or upgrading Viz Mosart, run the Viz Mosart Installation Files manually from Windows Explorer.

Tip: Vizrt provides a beta software utility Viz Mosart Installation Administrator that can speed up installation and upgrading of your Viz Mosart system. Refer to section Viz Mosart Installation Administrator.

To Perform a Manual Installation

  1. Download all relevant Viz Mosart Installation Files to the preferred location. The default location is C:\Mosart\Installers. You are advised to make a sub-directory for the installers for a particular version/build containing all the MSI installer-files and any other supplemental files. This directory should be named using the Release.Version.Patch.Build naming convention, for example: C:\Mosart\Installers\3.4.5.12345 for Viz Mosart 3.4.5 build 12345.

  2. 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 Viz Mosart Backup below.

  3. Double-click an MSI installation file, and follow the prompts to complete installation.

  4. Repeat the above step for all relevant installation files.

  5. You need to start a set of Windows services to make Viz Mosart run properly. These are automatically started when the computer is started.

    1. The safest is to reboot the computer to verify that the automatic start of the services is working.

    2. Service names will be displayed as in the screenshot below:
