Deployment Scenario 3: Including RTX64 Merge Modules within Your Installation

In this scenario, RTX64 is installed by including RTX64 Merge Modules within your own product installation process. Activation and configuration occur silently on the target system after installation is completed.

Product Installation

Performing the Install

To install RTX64 Merge Modules:

1. Download the self-extracting executable from the IntervalZero Customer Center.
2. Double-click the installation.
3. Click Next in the IntervalZero RTX64 Merge Modules installation Welcome window.
4. Read the End User License Agreement, select I accept the terms in the license agreement and then click Next.
5. In the Destination Folder screen, select the default folder C:\Program Files (x86)\IntervalZero\RTX64 Merge Modules\4.5\, and then click Next.
6. In the Ready to Install the Program screen click Install.
7. Click Finish in the installation Completed screen.

Merge Module Deployment

Once the merge modules have been installed onto the development system, they can be included in a setup file that will be installed on a target system.

Runtime Installation Requirements

In addition to the target machine operating system requirements listed at the start of this document, note the following when adding RTX64 merge modules to an installation.

• Administrator privileges are required — Installations using RTX64 merge modules must be performed by a user account that has administrator privileges.
• You must reboot after RTX64 has been installed, activated, and configured.

Merge Module Dependencies

If any of the RTX64 merge modules are added to an installation, they must include the RTX64 Subsystem, which is contained in the merge module file Subsystem.msm. The RTX64 Virtual Network Interface requires the merge module file RtTcpIp.msm.

Target Activation and Configuration

Once RTX64 is installed on your target system, you must activate the RTX64 product and configure system processors using a Command Line utility.

Recommended License Type:

Node Locked – Pool Activation. A single activation key licenses multiple systems.

Activating your Product

To activate your product (Internet connection required):

1. Navigate to the RTX64\bin directory and run Rtx64ActivationUtil.exe as Administrator.
2. Type the -a flag, and then provide your activation key. For example:

RtxActivation64Util.exe -a IZRTX64-111-2222-3333-4444-5555-IZTCP64-111-2222-3333-4444-5555

NOTE: You can find your activation key in the email you received from IntervalZero Sales.

3. If running from a command prompt, the activated components are displayed.
4. If you want to force activation to an IntervalZero-provided dongle, you can use the -dongle flag. For example:

RTX64ActivationUtil.exe -a IZRTX64-111-2222-3333-4444-5555-IZTCP64-111-2222-3333-4444-5555 -dongle (forces activation to dongle)

Configuring your System

You must license your system before you can configure system processors.

NOTE: We recommend you disable Hyper-Threading. If Hyper-Threading remains enabled, it is recommended that you assign an even number of processors between Windows and RTX64. The Windows logical processor and RTSS logical processor must not share the same physical processor.

Setting the boot configuration:

1. Navigate to the RTX64\bin directory and run Rtx64ActivationUtil.exe as Administrator.
2. Provide the number of Windows -w and RTSS -r processors. For example, to assign 3 processors to Windows and 5 processors to RTX64 on a dedicated system, you would type:

Rtx64ActivationUtil.exe -w 3 -r 5

3. Restart the system.
