# Installing

⚠️ Before You Begin

You must either turn on **Ctrl+Alt+Delete** or **turn off the lock screen**.

The following install methods are for endpoint computers that QwickAccess for Windows (QAW) has not been installed.

## Interactive Install

1. Copy the QAW.Install.msi file to the target machine.
2. Run the file as an administrator.
3. Follow the prompts in the installation wizard.

## Silent Install

1. Copy the QAW.Install.msi file to the target machine.
2. Open a command window as an administrator.
3. In the command window, navigate to the location of the QAW.Install.msi file.
4. Run the command:

```
msiexec /i QAW.Install.msi /qn
```

## Client Configuration

After installing QAW, you will need to configure it for your environment. This is accomplished using the QwickAccess to Windows Configuration Tool:

1. Press the Windows Key.
2. Type "QwickAccess".
3. Locate and click the **QwickAccess to Windows Configuration Tool** item.
4. Make the appropriate configuration changes in the **General** and **Server** tabs.

ℹ️ For info and examples, see our configuration articles for the [General Tab](/v1/docs/qa-general-tab) and [Server Tab](/v1/docs/qa-server-tab).
5. Click **OK** to save your changes.

## Mass Deployment

You can deploy QAW to many machines after you finish installing and configuring at least one machine with the steps above. This creates a configuration file you can copy to the other machines. This will require administrative privileges.

#### File Location

```
C:\ProgramData\HealthCast\QwickAccess-to-Windows\qaw.ini
```

Copy the file to the same location on the other machines, and it does not require any additional modification.
