# Windows Thin Client Installation Tips

Installing the Workspot Windows Client on a Windows-based thin client system is generally the same as on any other Windows system except that the UWF write filter has to be dealt with.

### **Procedure**

1. Sign in to the thin client as an administrator.
2. Disable the write filter

```bash
uwfmgr filter disableuwfmgr volume unprotect c:
```

1. Reboot
2. Install the Workspot Client by executing the Workspot Client MSI file.
  - Copy the Workspot Windows Client distribution file (WorkspotClientSetup64.msi or WorkspotClientSetup32.msi, available from [http://download.workspot.com](http://download.workspot.com/)) to the thin client.
  - With kiosk mode, some command-line options are mandatory. See Running Workspot Client in Kiosk Mode in [Windows Client: Kiosk Mode and Installation Options](/v1/docs/windows-client-kiosk-mode-and-installation-options).
  - In Workspot mode, command-line options not mandatory. The “allusers=1” option is useful for shared systems. (See the [Kiosk Mode](/v1/docs/windows-client-kiosk-mode-and-installation-options) document for the switches for both modes.)
3. Exclude Workspot Client folders and registry entries from write protection:

```bash
  uwfmgr file add-exclusion “C:\Program Files\Workspot”  uwfmgr file add-exclusion “%LOCALAPPDATA%\Workspot”  uwfmgr file add-exclusion “%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\ Workspot”  uwfmgr registry add-exclusion HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ Workspot
```

1. Re-enable the write filter:

```bash
  uwfmgr filter enable  uwfmgr volume protect c:
```

1. Reboot
2. Test the installation by launching the Workspot Client and having the user follow the sign-in prompts.
