Installation

You can use BimSens installer to deploy it to your machine:

Download the installer from the download page
double click the installer BimSens X.X.X.X Setup.exe where X.X.X.X is the version you want to install

ADMIN RIGHTS
	You may need Administrator rights to run the installer.

Click Next and In the Select Components window, select the components to install or choose one of the predefined installation package
Click Next until the end

Once installed you can choose to run the standalone version of BimSens (no 3D viewer).

You will need a licence file or to connect to a server to run BimSens

Installation Options

To control the installation behaviour the installer can be run with switches as defined here http://www.jrsoftware.org/ishelp/index.php?topic=setupcmdline

In particular you may be interested in switches /SILENT, /VERYSILENT and /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES to deploy installation silently to users.

In addition to the standard switches, you can use extra (optional) parameters to save your users some trouble:

/serverurl="your server address" to set the environment variable that defines the licence server location. Default is blank
/licenceDefaultType=Viewer|Author|Full to set the licence type to get from the server when none was previously set by the user. Default is none, i.e. the user need to explicitly pick one

DEFAULT VALUE NAMES
	The name Contributor is also an accepted alias of Author, and the names Admin and Developer are accepted aliases of Full.

/licenceOverrideUserType=True|False to force the /licenceDefaultType to be restored when the user open a new session of BimSens, regardless of the last type used. Default is False

Each 3D viewer can have a specific installation procedure.

To launch BimSens within a 3D viewer, refer to the corresponding documentation:
