Administrator Installing AppWave Browser
In some cases, the administrator may need to install AppWave Browser for the users, such as when the user’s account does not have Administrative privileges; when multiple users will be using the same machine to run AppWave Browser; or when the administrator wants to install remotely for multiple users using Microsoft SCCM.
Note: When the AppWave Browser is installed using a Windows Administrator account, Turbo Mode is automatically set to on. Turbo mode is the recommended mode for running AppWave Browser and is required for some complex Apps. For information on Turbo Mode, see the Configuring AppWave Browser Options.
To facilitate administrative installations, AppWave Browser can be installed from the command line.
