To install or upgrade Addons, it is recommended that you use WDM (the thin client has a
built-in WDM Agent for use as described in "Configuring WDM Properties").

Installing and Upgrading Addons Using the FTP Addon Installer
While WDM is recommended for easy remote network management services to your thin
client, you can use the FTP Addon Installer dialog box (only available to administrators)
to install and upgrade Addons which are in Microsoft .msi form. The FTP Addons utility
allows you to manually or automatically install/upgrade Addons on a thin client by
downloading MSI packages from a specified FTP server.
Note
For information on configuring the Ramdisk size for temporary data storage,

Manually Installing and Upgrading Addons

1. Log-in as an administrator and open the FTP Addon Installer dialog box (Start |
Control Panel | FTP Addons).
