Example of distribution file name explanation
NOTE. To get distribution files of Foresight Analytics Platform, contact technical support by sending a request to support@fsight.ru or using technical support services, which are available after registration on the site.
There are distribution files of Foresight Analytics Platform that use the Reg-free COM registration technology. This technology allows for installing Foresight Analytics Platform without registering object classes and types libraries in the registry. It is recommended to use those installers on selecting configuration.
Technology advantages:
If there are prerequisites, Foresight Analytics Platform can be started without installation.
Multiple builds of the same release can be used at the same workstation.
NOTE. It is not possible to use the builds, installed using the Reg-free COM registration distribution files and distribution files not using this technology within one release.
Foresight Analytics Platform includes distribution files for 32/64-bit Windows operating systems. To ensure correct platform work, bitness of Foresight Analytics Platform and Windows must match.
