Starting or configuring a runtime to run as a desktop application

You can start or configure basic runtimes to run as a desktop application even though that is not Integration's recommended running environment.

About this task

If you plan to not run the basic runtime, runtime cluster node, or runtime cloud cluster as a Windows service, disable the service or set it to manual startup.
