# How to Install the App-V Client by Using Setup.exe
|
||
|
||
|
||
This topic describes how to install the App-V client by using the setup.exe program. When you install the App-V client using the setup.exe program, the installer determines which prerequisite software is needed and installs it automatically before it installs the client.
|
||
|
||
**To install the Application Virtualization Client by Using Setup.exe**
|
||
|
||
1. Make sure you are logged on with an account that has administrator rights on the computer.
|
||
|
||
2. Open a Command Prompt window, and then change the directory to the folder that contains the setup files. When installing version 4.6 or a later version of the App-V client, you must use the correct installer for the computer’s operating system, 32-bit or 64-bit. The installation will fail and an error message will be displayed if you use the wrong installer.
|
||
|
||
3. Enter the install command string at the command prompt. Alternatively, you can create a command file and run it from the command prompt. You can also use a scripting language such as VBScript or Windows PowerShell to run the command.
|
||
|
||
4. The following command-line example shows how setup.exe can be used with a number of optional parameters. For more information about these parameters, see [Application Virtualization Client Installer Command-Line Parameters](application-virtualization-client-installer-command-line-parameters.md).
|
||
|
||
**"setup.exe" /s /v"/qn SWICACHESIZE=\\"10240\\" SWIPUBSVRDISPLAY=\\"Production System\\" SWIPUBSVRTYPE=\\"HTTP /secure\\" SWIPUBSVRHOST=\\"PRODSYS\\" SWIPUBSVRPORT=\\"443\\" SWIPUBSVRPATH=\\"/AppVirt/appsntype.xml\\" SWIPUBSVRREFRESH=\\"on\\" SWIGLOBALDATA=\\"D:\\AppVirt\\Global\\" SWIUSERDATA=\\"^% LOCALAPPDATA ^%\\Windows\\Application Virtualization Client\\" SWIFSDRIVE=\\"Q\\""**
|
||
|
||
**Important**
|
||
- The quotation marks that appear in the "**/v**" section must be treated as special characters and entered with a preceding "**\\**". The quotation marks are required only when the value contains a space; however, for consistency, all the instances in the preceding example are shown as having quotation marks.
|
||
|
||
- The "**%**" characters in "**%HomeDrive%**" must be preceded by the "**^**" escape character. Otherwise, the Windows command shell sets the value to that of the user who is performing the installation.
|
||
|
||
- The **InstallShield** switches **/s** and **/qn** are needed to make this a silent install. The **/qn** switch must follow the **/v** switch, separated by only a quote character with no intervening spaces.
|
||
|
||
- The folder specified in the **SWIGLOBALDATA** value must already exist.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
5. When the installation is complete, we recommend that you run a Microsoft Update scan to ensure the latest updates are installed.
