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).

- Run the installer with the /S parameter to install without showing setup windows

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

Install to a custom directory (optional)

• Use the /D parameter followed by the installation path
• The /D parameter must be the last argument
• Example command: Velaro-Setup-4.0.0.exe /S /D=C:\Program Files\Velaro

Disable CRC check (optional)

• Use the /NCRC parameter
• This option is typically used in automated or scripted deployments
• Example command: Velaro-Setup-4.0.0.exe /NCRC /S

Notes

• The /S parameter is case-sensitive and must be uppercase
• Administrative permissions are required
• Silent installation is intended for IT-managed or automated setups
• Standard users should install the desktop app using the normal installer
