Mostly you did not install it and trying to execute from a write protected medium like CD or server disk. iProjectViewer writes a logfile for problems and needs to write to disk.
Q. 16: What is the meaning of the numbers right of the list of day, week etc.?
Here you can fit the scaling interval of your timescale. A bigger amount expands the scaling, a smaller figure brings you more time on the screen (this is equal to the glasses with + and - ) Best fit is 8 for day and week and 20 for month. Try it.
Q. 17: What is the total cost of ownership (TCO) for iProjectViewer
The TCO is not calculated exactly but is absolutely small. Approximately it is 1/50 to 1/60 compared with a MS Project installation (not included the price difference) as there is no training needed and no installation. So your software distribution only has to copy the files onto the disk of the PC. After 10 minutes users can show and print their plans properly.
