Windows

Requirements

The supported Windows versions are Windows 10 or later, and Windows Server 2016 or later.

Installing the Windows client

To install the client on a Windows machine, unpack the client bundle and enter the client-windows directory. Then click on the file tl-x.y.z-client-windows.exe and follow the instructions.

You will also find unpacked versions of the ThinLinc Windows client, both 32-bit and 64-bit, under the tl-x.y.z-client-windows-x86 and tl-x.y.z-client-windows-x64 directories. It makes it possible to run the client directly from the bundle or other media, like a portable application, without the requirement of installing the client.

For more information about how to configure the client, read Configuration storage.

Unattended installation

The ThinLinc client can also be installed or upgraded silently (without the graphical installation wizard). This is done by adding the /S switch when running the installer:

.\tl-x.y.z-client-windows.exe /S

This is useful when installing the ThinLinc client remotely. Similarly, the /S switch can also be passed to uninstall.exe to silently uninstall the ThinLinc client.

Running the Windows client

During installation the ThinLinc client will be added to the Start menu. To start the client you select it from the Start menu.
