# How to Deploy the App-V Client
|
||
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
<a href="" id="bkmk-clt-install-prereqs"></a>**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](about-app-v-50-sp3.md)
|
||
|
||
- App-V 5.0 SP1 and App-V 5.0 SP2 – no new prerequisites in these versions
|
||
|
||
- [App-V 5.0 Prerequisites](app-v-50-prerequisites.md)
|
||
|
||
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](planning-for-the-app-v-50-sequencer-and-client-deployment.md) |
|
||
| Unsupported or limited installation scenarios | [App-V 5.0 Supported Configurations](app-v-50-supported-configurations.md) |
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
3. Review the locations for client registry, log, and troubleshooting information:
|
||
|
||
#### Client registry information
|
||
<ul><li>By default, after you install the App-V 5.0 client, the client information is stored in the registry in the following registry key:<p><p><code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\APPV\CLIENT</code></li><li>When you deploy a virtualized package to a computer that is running the App-V client, the associated package data is stored in the following location:<p><p><code>C:\ProgramData\App-V</code><p><p>However, you can reconfigure this location with the following registry key:<p><p><code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\APPV\CLIENT\STREAMING\PACKAGEINSTALLATIONROOT</code></li></ul>
|
||
|
||
#### Client log files
|
||
<ul><li>For log file information that is associated with the App-V 5.0 Client, search in the following log:<p><p><code>Event logs/Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/AppV</code></li><li>In App-V 5.0 SP3, some logs have been consolidated and moved to the following location:<p><p><code>Event logs/Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/AppV/ServiceLog</code><p><p>For a list of the moved logs, see [About App-V 5.0 SP3](about-app-v-50-sp3.md#bkmk-event-logs-moved).</li><li>Packages that are currently stored on computers that run the App-V 5.0 Client are saved to the following location:<p><p><code>C:\ProgramData\App-V\<<em>package id</em>>\<<em>version id</em>></code></li></ul>
|
||
|
||
#### Client installation troubleshooting information
|
||
- See the error log in the **%temp%** folder.
|
||
- To review the log files, click **Start**, type **%temp%**, and then look for the **appv_ log**.
|
||
|
||
## 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.<p><p>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](app-v-50-prerequisites.md).
|
||
|
||
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**
|
||
|
||
>[!NOTE]
|
||
>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](#bkmk-clt-install-prereqs). 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**.
|
||
|
||
>[!NOTE]
|
||
>The client Windows Installer (.msi) supports the same set of switches, except for the **/LOG** parameter.

## 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](#bkmk-clt-install-prereqs). 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 |
