Install the Horizon Mirage Client Silently

The administrator can deploy the Horizon Mirage client installer silently, without disturbing user
operations, by using command-line arguments.

Prerequisites
1 Verify that you have administrative permissions.
2 Verify that your platform meets the software and hardware requirements.
3 Because you cannot place Horizon Mirage servers in the customer's DMZ premises, use a VPN to
connect clients that will be used outside the network.
4 If the client will use SSL to connect to the server SSL must already be configured on the server.


Procedure
1 Select Start > Run, type cmd, and click OK.

2 Type the required expression for your environment and press Enter.
Option Description
32-bit clients <Mirage MSI path>\MirageClient.x86.buildnumber.msi
SERVERIP=MirageServer /quiet
For the SERVERIP parameter, you can use a DNS FQDN or hostname
instead of the server IP address.
64-bit clients <Mirage MSI path>\MirageClient.x64.buildnumber.msi
SERVERIP=MirageServer /quiet

3 (Optional) If SSL needs to be enabled, type the following expression and press Enter:
<Mirage MSI path>\MirageClient.x86.buildnumber.msi SERVERIP=MirageServer:port
USESSLTRANSPORT=true /quiet

4 (Optional) Restart your computer.
For first-time installation, restarting the computer assures better backup protection and enables
streaming which promotes faster restoration.

For an upgrade, restarting promotes better performance.

When the installation is finished, the Horizon Mirage client appears in the Management console in the
Pending Devices list.
