A USB flashdrive is meant to be moved from one computer to the next, so environment variables will not be constant. To install the Astronaut CPRS client package and use it successfully from a USB flash drive, you will have to use the method for installing to a protected environment (i.e. edit all connection shortcuts to use values instead of environment variables).
Install Astronaut clients to the USB drive
In the example below, I will use a USB drive on F:
- Create an Astronaut folder on your USB drive.
- Run the Astronaut_clients installer. (Currently, this works best if the Astronaut_clients.x.x.x.x.exe installer program is located on (and run from) the hard drive, not on the USB drive.)
- Astronaut VistA Host Name or IP Address (use default if unsure): 192.168.0.73
- Note: Use the URL or IP address of your own VistA server (or virtual machine containing the VistA server)
- Choose Install Location: Destination Folder: F:/Astronaut/VistA
- Note: Use the drive letter of your USB drive, of course.
