l There are changes made to the installer. When installing this new version of IxOS, you may
choose to first uninstall the existing version of IxOS. Alternatively, if the current version of IxOS
supports multi-versions, a co-exist option is present. See Installation Changes.
l
Each version of IxOS installs into its own folder on C:\Program Files\Ixia\IxOS\version xx. The
folder C:\Program Files\Ixia contains other Ixia-dependent applications; so any uninstalling and
deleting of application files must be limited to the specific version folder.
After uninstalling version X of an application, you may alternatively use Windows Explorer to delete
files from the version X folder only. Be careful not to delete any files outside the version X folder
because those files are accessed by other versions and other applications.
l
Demo server also supports multi-version intallation. However, see note under Installing a
Demonstration IxServer for a caution regarding installing demo server computer and IxServer
onto same workstation.
l .ixs files are not migrated by the installer. So if a new IxOS version is being installed to co-exist
with a current version, it does not migrate the existing .ixs. It installs a new .ixs in its own folder.
l
ActiveState Tcl 8.5 is now be installed with IxOS. See ActiveState Tcl 8.5 for details.
ActiveState Tcl 8.5
ActiveState Tcl 8.5 is installed with IxOS, beginning with IxOS version 6.60. Existing scripts written
with Ixia’s version of Tcl 8.4 and Tcl 8.5 is compatible with Activestate Tcl 8.5. Shipping with
ActiveState Tcl allows Ixia to standardize the version of Tcl across all Ixia apps. ActiveState Tcl 8.5 is
the predominant software that Ixia customers use when they have their own Tcl.

Version Management Tools
Two new tools, AppInfo and Application Selector, are both installed automatically during IxOS
