What is a requirement for running Object Viewer on a specific machine?

To run Object Viewer on a specific machine, it is essential to have the platform object deployed on that machine. This requirement ensures that Object Viewer can access and interpret the necessary data structures and resources it needs to visualize and present the information correctly. Without the deployment of the platform object, Object Viewer would not have the context or the components required to function properly, leading to issues in displaying the graphical representation of the underlying data.

Other options do not represent necessary conditions for running Object Viewer. For example, while specific graphics drivers might improve performance or enable certain visual features, they are not a formal requirement for running the application. Similarly, an internet connection is not mandatory unless specific features depend on online resources. Compatibility with older versions might be beneficial for users migrating from previous applications, but it is not a strict requirement for running Object Viewer itself. Therefore, the deployment of the platform object is the correct and essential requirement for the operation of Object Viewer on a machine.
