X4 Designer - Interactive Installation

This installation package contains the X4 Designer, i.e. the graphical user interface of the X4 BPMS, and will be provided for production purposes as an MSI file for the installation under Microsoft Windows. For more information on the installation components, see Installation Components of the X4 BPMS.

Note:

To use the X4 Designer, a connection to an X4 Server and an authentication provider is required.

Note:

With an MSI file, you can use one version of the X4 Designer at a time. The installation package containing the MSI file overwrites existing installations, which may lead to issues and data loss.

If you would like to use several concurrent versions of the X4 Designers, download the X4 Designer - ZIP archive package.
