* IE will prompt you with "This website wants to install the following add-on
SpiceX.cab... proceed by clicking the arrow on the install button and choose "Install
for All Users of this computer".
* Depending on the version of IE a UAC dialog may pop up asking you if you want to allow
"SpiceX.cab" If it does not Click on the install spice button again and it

* In the UAC dialog click on the yes button.
* The install will now proceed in the background.
I am using W7 64bit with IE11. My engine is running on a RHEL6 machine.
