Vrex Silent Installation & Deployment

Reduce user input during Vrex setup processes by deploying Vrex on Windows using silent install, licensing, and updates.

Silent Installation Guide

Vrex supports silent installs via the -silent argument.

  • Download VrexLauncher-##.exe (official installer from here).
  • Deploy using your management tool or a script:
    VrexLauncher##.exe -silent
  • Installer targets the current user’s profile, with shortcuts created. For example:
    %USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Vrex
  • Launching the shortcut starts the launcher, which self-updates and app-updates automatically. It then immediately launches the application.
  • The user logs in to access projects inside the app.

Apply License for All Users

To automate licensing, use Single Sign-On (SSO) via Microsoft Entra (Azure AD).

  • Contact Vrex (admin@vixel.no) for a brief call to connect with your Entra tenant for SSO setup.
  • Once set up, accounts are auto-created at first login, with no manual license entry needed.

Per-Machine Installation

Vrex is designed for per-user installation only. There is no official support for system-wide (“per-machine”) deployment.

Workaround: You may change the installation path or distribute a pre-installed application folder. This approach may require manual handling of desktop shortcuts, if applicable. While not officially supported or tested by Vrex, it can be effective depending on the flexibility of your deployment scripts.

Offline Installation

There is no official offline installer for Vrex.
The app is online-native, and the installer always fetches the latest version.

Workaround: Perform an online install on one machine and distribute it to other machines manually.

Auto-Updater

When installed via VrexLauncher, the application automatically stays up to date. If you choose to bypass the launcher, you will have control over version management across your users.

Workaround:
A: Distribute the ready-installed folder, without the launcher.
or
B: Change the shortcut to bypass the launcher and start the application directly.

Note: Users will receive a warning when opening Vrex if their version is outdated. Mismatched versions may break collaboration.
