Before you start
- The packages run on Windows 10 or Windows 11 (System requirements).
msiexecmust run with administrator rights, for example from a command prompt started as administrator or as the system account of your deployment tool.- Pick the package that matches the Windows architecture of the target computers. On current computers this is usually the 64-bit package.
- The packages install the same desktop app as the setup program
rp100en_cloud.exe. The only difference is that no dialogs appear.
