System Administrator

As a system administrator I would like to have some control and/or additional information about the Qinsy package to set it up properly within our IT environment.

The following documents might help with this:

Icons

After Qinsy installation icons are displayed as black boxes.

This has to do with the display properties of your computer. Probably your color quality is set to 16 bits. The icons need a quality of 32 bits.
Changing this setting will probably solve the problem.

MSXML6

Does Qinsy run with MSXML6?

Yes, the releases after QINSy MSI 8.10.2015.11.28.1 use MSXML6. MSXML6 is part of Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1 and Windows 10.
Older versions of QINSy require the installation of MSXML4. MSXML4 can be installed beside MSXML6. MSXML4 can be downloaded from QPS or from Microsoft directly.
