The KiXtart RPC service provided with version 4.20 and higher is not downward compatible with previous versions. If you choose to update the KIXtart RPC service, you must ensure to update the client-side (KX95.DLL) on all clients before you update the service. Failing to do so will cause clients using older versions of KX95.DLL to stop functioning correctly.
The proper steps to update to the latest version of the KiXtart RPC Service are:
1. Update KX95.DLL on all clients.
2. On the server(s), open a command prompt, switch to the directory on the server where you previously installed the service, and type the following command:
KXRPC –remove
3. Copy the new version of Kxrpc.exe to the directory on the server where you previously installed the service.
4. At the command prompt type the following command:
KXRPC –install
5. Start the service from the Services snap-in or using the following command:
NET START KXRPC
The KiXtart RPC service can be installed on a remote server using a utility such as SC, RSERVICE or XNET.
