# GuacamoleClient - Windows Installation

## Windows ClickOnce

ClickOnce is the primary installation path for the WinForms client on Windows.

### Stable

- Installation URL: https://jochenwezel.github.io/GuacamoleClient/clickonce/stable/GuacamoleClient.application

Use the stable channel for regular installations. Updates are delivered through the same ClickOnce feed.

### Dev

- Installation URL: https://jochenwezel.github.io/GuacamoleClient/clickonce/dev/GuacamoleClient.application

Use the dev channel only for preview builds and testing.

### Windows Security Prompts

For self-signed open-source builds, Windows may show the publisher as unknown and display a security warning before installation.
The installation can still continue after confirming the prompt.

### Auto-Updates

After installation, ClickOnce checks the same feed for updates. Stable installations update from the stable feed, and dev installations update from the dev feed.
