You can use the silent installation feature of Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) to install View Agent Direct-Connection (VADC) Plug-In. In a silent installation, you use the command line and do not have to respond to wizard prompts.
With silent installation, you can efficiently deploy VADC Plug-In in a large enterprise. For more information on Windows Installer, see "Microsoft Windows Installer Command-Line Options" in the
Setting Up Virtual Desktops in Horizon 7 document. VADC Plug-In supports the following MSI properties.
| MSI Property | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| LISTENPORT | The TCP port that VADC Plug-In uses to accept remote connections. By default, the installer will configure Windows Firewall to allow traffic on the port. | 443 |
| MODIFYFIREWALL | If set to 1, the installer will configure Windows Firewall to allow traffic on LISTENPORT. If set to 0, the installer will not. | 1 |
| DISABLE_SSLV3 | If SSL 3.0 is already explicitly enabled or disabled in the registry, the installer ignores this property. Otherwise, the installer disables SSL 3.0 at the operating system level if this property is set to 1, and the installer performs no action if this property is set to 0. | 1 |
Prerequisites
- Verify that Horizon Agent is installed. If your environment does not include Horizon Connection Server, install Horizon Agent from the command line and specify a parameter that tells Horizon Agent not to register with Horizon Connection Server. See Install Horizon 7 Agent for HTML Access.
