Windows account privileges

Note: This is required for the Web application only.

When you run an PowerServer Web application for the first time, the Appeon Xcelerator plug-in (for improving the runtime performance of Web applications) must be downloaded to the client.

  • If using the Edge, Firefox, Chrome, or Opera Web browser, you can log into the machine as a normal user, because you need no special privileges to download and install the Appeon Xcelerator plug-in.

  • If using Internet Explorer, then different Internet Explorer versions require different privileges for installing the Appeon Xcelerator plug-in.

    If using IE 8.0 or 9.0 on Windows 7 or later, you can log into the machine as a normal user, because you need no special privileges to download and register the Appeon Xcelerator plug-in. However, if using IE 7.0 or earlier, you must log in as a member of the Administrator group so you have the permissions to successfully download and register the Appeon Xcelerator plug-in.
