What is the Difference Between the RDCQUICK install and the FULL Install (AXCLIENT.EXE)?

The RDCQUICK install of the client was developed primarily for internet download where downloading the FULL install (AXCLIENT.EXE) might take a long time and where the additional components contained in AXCLIENT.EXE are not required.  If the current version of the Desktop Client on your system is the 2.6 version or lower then you will need to install the FULL version of 2.7.111, however if the current version of the Desktop Client on your system is the 2.7 version then you can install the RDCQUICK version of 2.7.111.  To check the client version you are currently running, please click on the 'yellow' question mark on the Tool Bar within the system or alternately click on 'Help' and 'About RDC...'.
