## Installation workflow

Installing on a Windows system involves the steps shown below:

1. Prerequisites

   - Make sure that your system meets the hardware and software requirements. For details, see Support Matrix.
   - Review the information here: Prepare for installation.
   - Installation must be performed at the destination machine. Installation using terminal service is not supported.

2. Run the setup

   - Wizard installation: To run the installation using the Setup wizard, see Install components using the Setup wizard.
   - Silent installation: To perform a silent installation, see Install components silently.

   After you run the setup, run any patch installations if necessary.

3. Install a language pack (optional)

   After you complete the installation, you can install a localized version to view the user interface in your local language. For details, see Install a language pack.

4. Complete post-installation configuration

   Configure Vusers to run on a load generator machine without the need to log on manually. For details, see Configure user login settings.
