Shared Deployment for Virtual Environments

Shared Deployment for Virtual Environments deploys ALM client components on a shared location of a client machine. This is useful for users on virtual environments such as Citrix and VMware accessing the same location.

Installation Instructions:

1. Log on to the machine as a local user or a domain user with administrator privileges. Ensure that you have the file system permissions listed below.
2. Click Install Shared Deployment for HP ALM Client.
3. Install the add-in each time ALM server is upgraded.

Notes:

• If ArgsEditor.dll fails to register during the add-in download, you must reinstall Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable. For more information, see HP Software Self-solve knowledge base article KM523641.
• To register components on the client machine run the HP ALM Client Registration add-in.
   

Required Permissions:

You must have the following file system permissions:

• Full read and write permissions on the HP\ALM-Client deployment folder. This is located at:
