Please note that you must obtain version 0.1.161 or later
If the installation of the driver results in warnings or errors about driver signatures, ensure secure boot is turned off for the virtual machine bios/uefi.
==== A note about IVSHMEM and Scream Audio ====
Start by downloading the correct version for your release from https://looking-glass.io/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, use 7Zip to extract the zip archiveusing the commit hash for the password. 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"
The windows host application captures the windows desktop and stuffs the frames into the shared memory via the shared memory virtual device, without this Looking Glass will not function. It is critical that the version of the host application matches the version of the client application, as differing versions can be, and usually are, incompatible.
