Installing Bluescape Wall Client for Windows

[Scott_Robinson]

A Wall client is a large touch-enabled monitor controlled by a computer running Bluescape Enterprise Wall Client software. This creates a premium work experience in a conference room, executive briefing center, or other group space.

The Bluescape Wall’s immersive and collaborative capabilities are now available on Windows. This makes the Bluescape Wall experience easier to deploy and readily available across entire Organizations at attractive price points.

Prerequisites

• Operating System: Windows 10 (Professional or Enterprise), version 1909 or greater.
• A working internet connection. For more details on network requirements, see the article, Network Connectivity Requirements.
• A desktop with the same or better specifications than a Dell OptiPlex 7060. For more information, see Recommended Hardware. Note that Bluescape for Windows is not intended for use on laptops.
• An Administrator account is required to install and upgrade Bluescape for Windows. However, once an Administrator installs it, it is accessible to any member. For security reasons, we strongly recommend that you use a separate, non-Administrator account to run Bluescape for Windows.

Note: Beginning with version 19.11 of Bluescape for Windows, the software will automatically update itself. Any version installed prior to version 19.11 must be uninstalled and reinstalled using the latest installer.
