Install fusion_place Runtime Environment

This manual is in pilot operation.

Install the "fusion_place Runtime Environment" (hereinafter referred to as "Runtime Environment"), a program necessary to launch the fusion_place client.

  • The fusion_place Runtime Environment can be installed simply by double-clicking the installer. Windows administrator privileges are not required for installation, except when restricted by OS policies or similar constraints.

  • Installing the Runtime Environment allows you to launch each client program by clicking the icons ([Contributor], [Browser], [Manager]) on the "fusion_place Menu Page".

  • (fusion_place <= 13.0) When fusion_place is installed, the Runtime Environment is also installed on that PC. In this case, you do not need to install the Runtime Environment on that PC using the procedure on this page.

  • The fusion_place Runtime Environment is updated on a different schedule from fusion_place itself. The required version of the Runtime Environment is generally determined by the version of fusion_place. PCs using an earlier version of the Runtime Environment display a message recommending an update when fusion_place is launched.

  • When upgrading fusion_place, it is not always necessary to upgrade the Runtime Environment. In that case, the procedure described on this page is unnecessary. However, if an old version of the Runtime Environment is installed on the PC, a message indicating this is displayed when each client program is launched. Please uninstall the old version of the Runtime Environment, then install the new version by following the steps below.

How to Install the Runtime Environment

(If an old version of the Runtime Environment is already installed, please uninstall it, then install the new version by following the steps below.)

  1. From the "fusion_place Menu Page", click on "Download fusion_place Runtime Environment" to download the installer (msi file) for the fusion_place Runtime Environment.

    Alternatively, you can directly specify the following URL to download the installer.

    (fusion_place < 12.0)
    http://(host):(port)/lib/fusion_place-runtime-environment-1.0.0-64.msi
    (fusion_place cloud >= 12.0)
    https://(host):(port)/lib/fusion_place-runtime-environment-current-64.msi
    (fusion_place premium >= 12.0)
    http://(host):(port)/lib/fusion_place-runtime-environment-x.x.x-64.msi

    Here, (host) is the hostname of the server to which you are connecting, and (port) is the port number.

    The installer downloaded through the above steps is for 64-bit Windows. If you are using a 32-bit version of Windows on your client PC, a 32-bit version of the Runtime Environment is necessary. In that case, please let us know. We will provide the installer for the 32-bit Runtime Environment (limited to premium and cloud customers).

  2. Double-click the downloaded fusion_place Runtime Environment installer (msi file) to start the installation.

    Shortly after starting, a screen like the one shown below may appear.

    1. If the message "Windows protected your PC" appears
