=== Using the Windows Host Application ===
----
Start by downloading the correct version for your release from https://looking-glass.hostfission.comio/downloads. You can either choose between '''Official Releases''' which is is stable or '''Release Candidates''' that tries to be stable but has new features. '''Note:''' If your '''looking-glass-client''' was created by building from the '''master branch''' you have to pick the '''Bleeding Edge''' version.
Next, extract the zip archive. Then, run the "looking-glass-host-setup.exe" installer and click through it. By default, the installer will install a service that automatically starts the host application at boot. The installer can also be installed in silent mode with the "/S" switch. Other command line options for the installer are documented by running it with the "/h" switch. There is also an unofficial Chocolatey package available, install with "choco install looking-glass-host --pre"
'''Note:''' As of 2020-08-12 (commit dc4d1d49fac2361e60c9bb440bc88ce05f6c1cbd), the below instructions are deprecated. The host application now has an installer that installs a system-wide service to run the Looking Glass host application. When upgrading please be sure to remove the scheduled task if you have already created one.

To get the Windows-Host-Application running after restart you need to run it as a privileged task we do that by starting '''cmd.exe''' as '''administrator''' and running a command in it which creates a windows task.
Now you simply need to hit enter in to the cmd shell and restart the vm to test if it worked.
