Install the ActiveX Task List

Before you begin

Important: Product Options Installation Information. When using the ActiveX Task List, product option updates made on the server are not automatically deployed to applications using the Task List. The ProficyUpdater.exe application must be run manually, with administrative privileges, in order to deploy production option updates on each client machine using ActiveX Task List.
Note: At a single workstation, only one Task Indicator object and one ActiveX Task List object can be connected at a time per HMI application instance.
