Welcome to my VMware App Volumes series. In this session I will describe how I installed App Volumes. After finishing my preparations, I can now begin to install my design.

When unpacked the iso contains the following folders
I start the installation by running setup.exe from the Installation-folder
The installation wizard opens
I accept the terms, Next
I select App Volumes Manager, Install
I select «Connect to an existing SQL Server Database», as I created a database during my preparations, Next
I fill in my database-information, Next
In this lab I will be using HTTPS, Next
Default destination folder is a good a location as any, Next…
