Although IxANVL may run on other versions of Windows OS, these other versions are not officially supported by Ixia.

Important Note: Java has a known caveat that requires an extra rpm file (xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.2-31.i386.rpm) that sometimes is not installed by default on an RHE 5.0 machine. As the IxANVL installer is a Java-based application, it is required that this file be installed in order to function normally. Please refer to the "Linux Installation Notes" below for a workaround to fix this problem.
