Docs / Installation

Install on Windows

Download and install the signed Chudware desktop app on Windows, interactively or silently with msiexec.

Download an installer

Sign in at app.chudware.com and open the download page. It issues two signed Windows builds for your account, with the version and SHA-256 digest shown next to each link:

  • Installer (.msi) — for managed and scripted deployment through Group Policy, Intune, or msiexec. Installs per machine into Program Files and requires administrator rights.
  • Setup (.exe) — for an ordinary interactive install; run it and launch Chudware from the Start menu.

Both formats install the same application, and it verifies every update against the same signed release manifests.

Silent install with msiexec

The .msi installs with no interaction, which is what deployment tooling runs. From an elevated prompt, with the version shown on the download page substituted in:

msiexec /i Chudware-<version>-x86_64.msi /qn /l*v install.log

/l*v keeps a verbose log worth having when a rollout needs verification or support. Use msiexec /x with the same package to remove it silently.

The build is 64-bit and needs a graphics driver capable of a modern hardware-accelerated 3D context; without one the application does not start.

Do not install a package presented as an official Chudware release from a third-party source; the download page in your account is the only official source.

Or skip the install

The browser client requires no desktop installation. Create an account to use Chudware from a tab.
