Velaro Desktop Installation for IT Administrators
This article is intended for IT administrators or teams deploying the Velaro Desktop application across multiple machines.
A silent installation installs the application in the background without displaying any setup windows or requiring user interaction. This is commonly used for automated deployments or bulk installations.
Prerequisites
- Download the Velaro Desktop installer from: Velaro Downloads
- Save the installer to your computer (example: your Downloads folder).Note the installer file name you downloaded (example: Velaro-Setup-4.0.0.exe).
- You’ll use that exact name in the command below. If your file name is different, substitute it.
- Run the install command as an administrator (needed to install software for all users or write to Program Files).
Silent Installation Steps (Windows)
1. Open Command Prompt
- Press Win + R, type cmd, and press Enter.
- If you are installing for all users or installing to Program Files, run Command Prompt as Administrator.
2. Navigate to the installer location
- Use the cd command to move to the folder where the installer was downloaded.
- Example if the installer is in the Downloads folder: cd %USERPROFILE%\Downloads
3. Run the silent install command
- Use the installer file name you downloaded. It must match exactly (example: Velaro-Setup-4.0.0.exe).

This installs the Velaro Desktop app in the background without showing any setup windows or prompts.

Notes
- The /S parameter is case-sensitive and must be uppercase
