Installing the Windows Client
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

You will also find unpacked versions of the ThinLinc Windows client,
both 32bit and 64bit under :file:`tl-x.y.z-client-windows-x86` and
:file:`tl-x.y.z-client-windows-x64` directories. It makes it possible to
run the client directly from the bundle or other media, like a portable
application, without the requirement of installing the client.

For more information about how to configure the client, read
:ref:`clientconf`.
