J Walk Server and Client Changes

Windows Clients Changes

This service release of J Walk does not contain any major new enhancements to the
Windows client. However, information about new features added to previous
releases for the Windows client is still available in the Previous Changes document.

ActiveX Control and ActiveX Client Changes

ActiveX Setup The following changes have been made to the ActiveX control and Windows
Changes ActiveX Client in this release.
• Any user with or without administrator privileges running Internet Explorer
8.0 in non-elevated mode may install the ActiveX control.
• Installing J Walk Printer Client still requires administrator privileges.
• Previous releases contained two setup files for the ActiveX client, one of
this was a setupadmin.exe file for users with administrative privileges. In
this release, there is only a SINGLE setup file for the ActiveX client. This
setup file is applicable for both standard users and users with administrative
privileges.
• The Windows ActiveX client setup starts as long as the browser is running
in protected mode. Administrator privileges are no longer required! When
Internet Explorer is running in protected mode, the user is prompted for
permission to run a “Windows Script Host Startup” script. Allowing this
script to run then prompts for permission to install the Windows ActiveX
Client.
• Installing Windows ActiveX Client in “COMMON” and “ALLUSERS”
mode via parameters require administrative privileges. Internet Explorer
must be running in elevated or protected mode. Note that when IE 7.0 is
used, users with no administrative privileges are prompted for user
credentials. This is also applicable to previous releases.
