How to Deploy the App-V Client

Gjelder for: Application Virtualization 5.0, Application Virtualization 5.0 SP1, Application Virtualization 5.0 SP2, Application Virtualization 5.0 SP3

Use the following procedure to install the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) 5.0 client and Remote Desktop Services client. You must install the version of the client that matches the operating system of the target computer.

What to do before you start

1. Review and install the software prerequisites:

   Install the prerequisite software that corresponds to the version of App-V that you are installing:

   • About App-V 5.0 SP3

   • App-V 5.0 SP1 and App-V 5.0 SP2 – no new prerequisites in these versions

   • App-V 5.0 Prerequisites

2. Review the client coexistence and unsupported scenarios, as applicable to your installation:

   Deploying coexisting App-V clients	Planning for the App-V 5.0 Sequencer and Client Deployment
   Unsupported or limited installation scenarios	See the client section in App-V 5.0 Supported Configurations

3. Review the locations for client registry, log, and troubleshooting information:

To install the App-V 5.0 Client

1. Copy the App-V 5.0 client installation file to the computer on which it will be installed. Choose from the following client types:

   Client type	File to use
   Standard version of the client	appv_client_setup.exe
   Remote Desktop Services version of the client	appv_client_setup_rds.exe

2. Double-click the installation file, and click Install. Before the installation begins, the installer checks the computer for any missing App-V 5.0 Prerequisites.

3. Review and accept the Software License Terms, choose whether to use Microsoft Update and whether to participate in the Microsoft Customer Experience Improvement Program, and click Install.

4. On the Setup completed successfully page, click Close.

   The installation creates the following entries for the App-V client in Programs:

   • .exe

   • .msi

   • language pack

     Obs!

     After the installation, only the .exe file can be uninstalled.

To install the App-V 5.0 client using a script

1. Install all of the required prerequisite software on the target computers. See What to do before you start. If you install the client by using an .msi file, the installation will fail if any prerequisites are missing.

2. To use a script to install the App-V 5.0 client, use the following parameters with appv_client_setup.exe.

   Obs!

   The client Windows Installer (.msi) supports the same set of switches, except for the /LOG parameter.

   /INSTALLDIR	Specifies the installation directory. Example usage: /INSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files\AppV Client
   /CEIPOPTIN	Enables participation in the Customer Experience Improvement Program. Example usage: /CEIPOPTIN=[0|1]
   /MUOPTIN	Enables Microsoft Update. Example usage: /MUOPTIN=[0|1]
   /PACKAGEINSTALLATIONROOT	Specifies the directory in which to install all new applications and updates. Example usage: /PACKAGEINSTALLATIONROOT='C:\App-V Packages'
   /PACKAGESOURCEROOT	Overrides the source location for downloading package content. Example usage: /PACKAGESOURCEROOT='http://packageStore'
   /AUTOLOAD	Specifies how new packages will be loaded by App-V 5.0 on a specific computer. The following options are enabled: [1]; automatically load all packages [2]; or automatically load no packages [0].Example usage: /AUTOLOAD=[0|1|2]

   /ROAMINGREGISTRYEXCLUSIONS	Specifies the registry paths that will not roam with a user profile. Example usage: /ROAMINGREGISTRYEXCLUSIONS=software\classes;software\clients
   /ROAMINGFILEEXCLUSIONS	Specifies the file paths relative to %userprofile% that do not roam with a user's profile. Example usage: /ROAMINGFILEEXCLUSIONS 'desktop;my pictures'
   /S[1-5]PUBLISHINGSERVERNAME	Displays the name of the publishing server. Example usage: /S2PUBLISHINGSERVERNAME=MyPublishingServer
   /S[1-5]PUBLISHINGSERVERURL	Displays the URL of the publishing server. Example usage: /S2PUBLISHINGSERVERURL=\\pubserver
   /S[1-5]GLOBALREFRESHENABLED -	Enables a global publishing refresh. Example usage: /S2GLOBALREFRESHENABLED=[0|1]
   /S[1-5]GLOBALREFRESHONLOGON	Initiates a global publishing refresh when a user logs on. Example usage: /S2LOGONREFRESH=[0|1]
   /S[1-5]GLOBALREFRESHINTERVAL -	Specifies the publishing refresh interval, where 0 indicates do not periodically refresh. Example usage: /S2PERIODICREFRESHINTERVAL=[0-744]

To install the App-V 5.0 client by using the Windows Installer (.msi) file

1. Install the required prerequisites on the target computers. See What to do before you start. If any prerequisites are not met, the installation will fail.

2. Ensure that the target computers do not have any pending restarts before you install the client using the App-V 5.0 Windows Installer (.msi) files. The Windows Installer files do not flag a pending restart.

3. Deploy one of the following Windows Installer files to the target computer. The file that you specify must match the configuration of the target computer.

   Type of deployment	Deploy this file
   Computer is running a 32-bit Microsoft Windows operating system	appv_client_MSI_x86.msi
   Computer is running a 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating system	appv_client_MSI_x64.msi
   You are deploying the App-V 5.0 Remote Desktop Services client	appv_client_rds_MSI_x64.msi

4. Using the information in the following table, select the appropriate language pack .msi to install, based on the desired language for the target computer. The xxxx in the table refers to the target locale of the language pack.

   What to know before you start:

   • The language packs are common to both the standard App-V 5.0 client and the Remote Desktop Services version of the App-V 5.0 client.

   • If you install the App-V 5.0 client using the .exe, the installer will deploy only the language pack that matches the operating system running on the target computer.

   • To deploy additional language packs on a target computer, use the procedure To install the App-V 5.0 client by using Windows Installer (.msi) file.

   Type of deployment	Deploy this file
   Computer is running a 32-bit Microsoft Windows operating system	appv_client_LP_xxxx_ x86.msi
   Computer is running a 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating system	appv_client_LP_xxxx_ x64.msi
