Applies To:
  • CitectSCADA
  • VijeoCitect

Summary:
In versions prior to 6.10, Control (Display) Clients and View-only (Manager) Clients could run without a local installation. This was configured by creating a shortcut that referred to the citect32.exe and an appropriately configured citect.ini file on a file server, accessed via a mapped drive or UNC path. The file server did not necessarily have to be a CitectSCADA server, but did require a full CitectSCADA installation and a copy of the project(s).

As of version 6.10 of CitectSCADA and VijeoCitect, such a configuration is no longer possible. An attempt to start the runtime on a Control or View-only client configured as described above will result in the popup error below:

This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.





Solution:
CitectSCADA and VijeoCitect Control and Manager clients version 6.10 and greater require a full local installation. While the configuration described above may have been possible with prior versions, such a setup was not supported or advocated.

As an alternative, we recommend that Web Control Clients or Web View-only Clients be used on machines where full CitectSCADA or VijeoCitect installation is not possible or desirable.
