There are two ways to get there. The default and preferred way, at least on
*nix, is auto-launching by the server. If the server can't contact the node
(as specified in the config file), it executes a ssh-command to launch the
process. That requires to have the executable in the same place (shared
folder or manual copy) and a password-less ssh login.

Unfortunately setting this up on Windows is quite tricky. Depending on you
ssh server and shell you need different quotes for the various parameters to
get them correctly. Furthermore, you run into trouble with whitespace in the
path and long command lines.

The other way is to pre-launch the render clients, which is described in:
<http://www.equalizergraphics.com/documents/design/residentNodes.html>

This is much easier to debug, since you see when the server can or cannot
contact the render clients. Imo on Windows this is the quicker way to get
something.

If you need help writing your config, please describe your exact use case.
You can always test it on a single node first, by using multiple pipe
sections on the same (app)node. Once that works, you just change your
resource description section so that your channels end up on different
nodes.
