2. Download the AppCapture installer, VMware-appvolumes-appcapture-<buildnumber>.exe from the VMware downloads page.
3. Double-click the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to install AppCapture.
4. (Required) Wait for the machine to reboot and verify that AppCapture.exe is installed under C:\Program Files(x86)\VMware\AppCapture .
