Introduction
The Evisions Application Launcher (EAL) introduces a .NET framework for the Argos client. This decouples users from client-side Java dependencies. Due to the current OIT security policy, this newer client has to be installed either by users that have administrative privileges to their workstation or else via the Software Center.
- If you have administrative rights to your workstation you may install EAL on your own by following the steps below.
- If you do not have administrative privileges on your workstation or if you are unable to locate EAL within Software Center submit a Support Request using this form.
