In this chapter we will document how to install, configure and run the ThinLinc client on all different platforms including dedicated thin terminals.

8.1. Windows

8.1.1. Requirements

The supported Windows versions are 7, 2008 R2, 8, 2012, 8.1, 2012 R2, and 10. Windows CE is currently not supported.

8.1.2. Installing the Windows Client

To install the client on a Windows machine, unpack the Client Bundle and enter the client-windows directory. Then click on the file tl-4.8.0-client-windows.exe and follow the instructions.

The tl-4.8.0-client-windows directory contains an unpacked version of the ThinLinc Windows client. It makes it possible to run the client directly from the bundle, without installing first.

For more information about how to configure the client, read Section 7.7, “ Client configuration storage ”.

8.1.3. Running the Windows Client

During installation the ThinLinc client will be added to the Start menu. To start the client you select it from the Start menu.
