How to Create an Additional Vista Client Instance

Created by Cameron Boyd, Modified on Fri, 7 Feb at 3:58 PM by Cameron Boyd

  1. Copy "bin" folder.
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Viewpoint Construction Software\Vista\bin
  2. Rename it to anything else (Example: "bin23").
  3. (optional) Copy the configuration file from the original bin folder, this is so you don't have to retype all your connections.
    %userprofile%\Viewpoint Construction Software\C^Program Files (x86)^Viewpoint Construction Software^Vista^bin^VistaUserConfiguration.json
  4. (optional) Change "bin" in the configuration file to the new name from #2 (and delete - Copy from the filename)

    %userprofile%\Viewpoint Construction Software\C^Program Files (x86)^Viewpoint Construction Software^Vista^bin23^VistaUserConfiguration.json
  5. Run "Viewpoint.Vista.Launcher.exe" from the new folder.
  6. If you get a credentials error, run "Restart VistaClientService" from the Command Prompt.
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Viewpoint Construction Software\Vista\RestartVistaClientService.exe
