KiXtart consists of five executable components:
· Kix32.exe (or Wkix32.exe), the main program file
· Kx16.dll, a 16-bit DLL used to connect to Netapi.dll on Windows 9x clients
· Kx32.dll, a 32-bit DLL used to connect to Netapi.dll on Windows 9x clients
· Kxrpc.exe, a Windows NT service to support Windows 9x clients
· Kx95.dll, a 32-bit dynamic link library (DLL) used by Windows 9x clients to connect to the KiXtart RPC service
All executable components can be installed on and run from the network or from the local hard disk of the client systems.
To install KiXtart on the network, copy the required files to the NETLOGON share of the logonserver(s).
To install KiXtart on a client, copy the required files to a directory on the local hard disk. Optionally, the dynamic link libraries (DLLs) can be copied to the windows or the windows\system directory.
Windows NT or higher clients need only install Kix32.exe.
Windows 9x clients must install both Kix32.exe and two dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) called KX16.DLL and KX32.DLL.
If Windows 9x clients are to communicate with the KiXtart RPC service, an additional DLL, called KX95.DLL, should also be installed. Please see the separate paragraph on the KiXtart RPC service for full details.

Note |
KX95.DLL should only be installed if the KiXtart RPC service will be used. Without the KiXtart RPC service, KX95.DLL will generate unnecessary network traffic and delay the start of KiXtart.
To uninstall KiXtart, simply delete the executable components and scripts.
The KiXtart RPC service can be removed at the command prompt by typing the following command:
KXRPC –remove
