AppInfo
The AppInfo tool is for managing multi-version installations. AppInfo makes automated choices,
matching a version of an application with the appropriate version of IxOS. The AppInfo tool
automatically selects the highest compatible version of IxOS unless you override the choice.
Application Selector
The Application Selector tool is used to override the automatic selections made by AppInfo during
installation. You can choose a specific version of IxOS to run with a selected application. The
Application Selector shows only applications that are currently loaded onto the client computer. When
a new application (or new version) is loaded, it shows up in the Application Selector next time the
Selector is opened.
Installation Changes
The folder structure of the Ixia group has been modified. Applications are no longer loaded to the Ixia
folder, but into specific folders for each application and each version. The applications can be accessed
through icons on the desktop, or during installation you can choose not to install the icons.
When installing multi-version IxOS, one of following three scenarios may occur:
a.
Installation of a multi-version IxOS when there is an existing non-multiversion instance.
b.
Installation of a multi-version IxOS when there is a pre-existing multi-version instance.
c.
Installation of a multi-version IxOS when there are multiple pre-existing multi-version IxOS
instances.
When scenario b (above) is true, a dialog box similar to the following appears.
