||
**To install the MED-V server**
|
||
|
||
1. Install the MED-V Server .msi package.
|
||
|
||
The MED-V Server .msi package is called *MED-V\_Server\_x.msi*, where x is the version number.

|
||
For example, *MED-V\_Server\_1.0.65.msi*.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
3. On the **License Agreement** screen, read the license agreement, click **I accept the terms in the license agreement**, and then click **Next**.
|
||
|
||
The **Destination Folder** screen appears, with the default installation folder displayed.
|
||
|
||
The default installation folder is *%systemdrive%\\Program Files\\Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization\\*.
|
||
|
||
- To change the folder where MED-V should be installed, click **Change** and browse to an existing folder.
|
||
|
||
4. Click **Next**.
|
||
|
||
5. On the **Ready to Install the Program** screen, click **Install**.

|
||
|
||
6. When the **InstallShield Wizard Completed** screen appears, click **Finish** to complete the wizard.
|
||
|
