Important information regarding the installation of CLINQ on Windows


Technical Requirements:

  • x86 CPU or 64bit (emulator)
  • Windows 10 or 11 (64bit)


Installing CLINQ on a Windows desktop:

  • Copy the CLINQ.exe file locally and install.
  • Installations from a network drive could lead to an error.
  • Mass installations via .msi files are currently not possible or available.


Installing CLINQ via the Windows terminal server:

  • Installing CLINQ via the Windows terminal server is possible, but not recommended as connecting audio devices between the desktop and terminal server are not supported.


Installation path:

  • C:\Users\[Benutzername]\AppData\Local\Programs\clinq-desktop\CLINQ.exe


Should the installation be unsuccessful:

  • In the case of a Windows error, please check to see if a Windows admin has set up group policies preventing the software from being installed.
  • Local software firewalls and anti-virus programs can block the software. In this case temporarily deactivating the program during the installation of CLINQ and reactivating it once complete could be the solution.
