Windows Installation

Learn how to install Cliqer on your Windows computer.

Setting up Cliqer on Windows is straightforward:

Download Cliqer

Go to the download page, it detects your system automatically and offers the right installer for your architecture (x64 or ARM64). Cliqer needs Windows 11. On Windows 10, open Older versions on the download page and pick the previous Cliqer version for macOS 14 and Windows 10.

Two formats are available:

  • .msi (recommended), Windows Installer package, also the right choice for IT departments deploying via Group Policy / Intune.
  • -setup.exe, classic setup wizard. It also installs the Windows App SDK runtime if your machine doesn't have it.
All installers are code-signed, so SmartScreen recognises the publisher.

Run Installer

Open the downloaded installer file.

Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation. The installer asks for administrator rights; the app itself then runs as a normal user.

Firewall Permissions

The installer adds a Windows Defender Firewall rule for Cliqer, so Windows doesn't ask you to allow network access. Cliqer needs it to connect with remote devices.

If you use a third-party firewall, you may need to manually add an exception for Cliqer.

(Optional) Restart

As with macOS, if you encounter issues:

  • Quit Cliqer.
  • Quit your presentation software.
  • Relaunch Cliqer and then your presentation software.
ARM64 (Snapdragon) devices: Cliqer ships a native ARM64 build, no emulation needed. The only exception is NDI output, which requires the x64 build (NDI's libraries are x64-only).

Updating

Cliqer checks for updates at launch and every 24 hours while it runs, and updates itself in place, regardless of which installer format you used. See Updates.

Troubleshooting Windows Installation

  • Antivirus Software: Temporarily disable your antivirus software to see if it's interfering with Cliqer's operation or installation. If it is, add Cliqer to your antivirus's exception list.
  • Contact Support: For persistent issues, use the live chat on the Cliqer website.

With Cliqer installed for Windows, you might also need to install it on other systems, or you can proceed to using the application.
