Installing Infor Rich Client

Note: Before installing Infor Rich Client, verify that your computer has the Microsoft Web EdgeView2 runtime program installed. See Verifying the Microsoft Web EdgeView2 runtime installation.

Administrators and power users may require Infor Rich Client to be installed on their local desktops if they use Configuration Console for application and security configurations, build and configure reports, or build business class groups.

Infor provides an .exe file that is used to install the Infor Rich Client UI on a user's desktop.

Find the links for your environment on the Application & System Links page in Administration Console. If you are not an administrator, then ask your administrator to share the link to the installer with you.

  1. Select Administration Console > Other > Application & System Links.
  2. In the Rich Client UI widget, select the Download or Share links next to the .exe file for the data area you want to install.
    The share link is a quick way to email the link for the .exe file to the user or users who must install the Rich Client.
  3. Run the .exe file.
    It takes several seconds for Infor Rich Client to install.
  4. When the installation is complete, the Login page is displayed. Log in using your standard login and password.
The installer places an Infor Rich Client shortcut on the desktop.
Infor recommends you install a separate .exe file for each data area. Infor Rich Client UI has a data area picker in the upper right corner. You can use this menu to switch data areas, but it is not recommended as it takes a large amount of memory.
