Windows is the most common host platform. Installation is simple, but a few permission settings decide whether connections work later, so follow this order.
Installation steps
Download the installer, run it and follow the wizard. Keep the default path to make upgrades and troubleshooting easier; the client starts automatically afterwards.
- Download the build matching your system architecture
- Run the installer as administrator
- Keep the default path for easier maintenance
- Launch the client when installation finishes
Settings to make immediately
Right after installing, enable start-on-boot, set an unattended access code, and confirm the firewall allows the client to communicate.
- Start on boot so the device stays reachable
- Set an access code and enable unattended access
- Allow the client through the firewall (private and public)
- Turn off system sleep so the device never drops offline
When installation fails
Failures usually come from permissions, security software blocking, or leftovers from an older version. Disable security software temporarily, or clean up with the official uninstaller before reinstalling.
- Install with administrator rights
- Retry with security software temporarily disabled
- Remove old-version leftovers first
- Check that disk space is sufficient
FAQ
Do I need to install drivers?
Required virtual device drivers install on first run. Allow it when the system prompts, otherwise you may get a black screen or lose mouse control.
Can I deploy it silently?
Yes. Enterprises can install silently with command-line parameters and roll out configuration through management tools.
