Installation Notes

Internet Explorer® 11 is the only web browser supported with Thin Client 2019.

• If ADMS is installed on a Custom IIS Port, the Thin Client cannot use that custom port or the Default IIS Port. In that case, the Thin Client must be installed using another IIS Port.
• If ADMS is installed on the Default IIS Port, the Thin Client can also be installed on the same Default IIS Port or on another IIS Port.
• If you are upgrading Autodesk Thin Client from a previous version of Vault and need a reference of the existing web.config file, be sure to back up the original web.config file (located in \Autodesk\Thin Client 20XX folder).
• If you are upgrading Autodesk Thin Client from a previous release to the current release, you must uninstall the previous version before installing the new version.
• Autodesk Design Review works only for IE x32 browsers. IE x64 browsers are not supported.
• To view visualization files in Autodesk Thin Client using Internet Explorer, Autodesk Design Review Desktop must be installed on the client machine.
