What IT usually needs first

Install & folders

Setup lands under Program Files; user settings, layouts, licenses, Public Documents, and Local AppData stay separate. Know what uninstall removes — and what it keeps.

Hardware & performance

CPU cores, RAM, and SSD matter for Analyze and .qtb open/save. Network paths change extract timing — size review PCs and file shares with measured guidance.

Licensing & silent deploy

Shared license folders for lab fleets, plus /VERYSILENT install for software center rollouts. No post-install launch on silent — start the app yourself after deploy.

Troubleshooting & support package

Send a .qtb for review without huge raw files. Use Help menu support / recovery zip (Logbook.tsv, diagnostics). Hold Shift on the splash to recycle settings when a demo PC needs a clean slate — details in the troubleshooting guide.

View add-ins on the fleet

  • Folder: AddIns\View\ next to the app — no registry.
  • Hot-drop: drop a DLL, build folder, or zip on the running main window; the same Id replaces the loaded view. Status bar confirms success.
  • Deploy: package lab-specific view DLLs with silent install or your image. The SDK DLL lives with the host, not inside the View drop.
