During initial installation and when applying a patch, make sure the desktop client file is the one supplied with the appliance version. If the versions are not compatible, errors will occur.
NOTE: PuTTY is used to launch the SSH client for SSH session requests and is included in the install. The desktop client looks for any user-installed PuTTY in the following locations:
If PuTTY is not found, the desktop client uses the version of PuTTY that it installed at:
<user-home-dir>/AppData/Local/Safeguard/putty.
If the user later installs PuTTY in any of the locations above, the desktop client uses that version which ensures the user has the latest version of PuTTY.
