• Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (for Aquarius Workstation iNtuition Edition – part of installer)

• Location: %HOMEDRIVE%\AQi\bin
  
• The 'master' Config file that can be configured to set server, visual and other application settings for all users. This is really an XML file without the extension.

CACLS.EXE "%HOMEDRIVE%\AquariusReportUpdateLogs" /E /T /G "Authenticated Users":C
