In an effort to keep VDI images and the FlexApp Packaging Console in sync with a common and consistent set of runtime versions, Liquidware provides a bundled installer containing the most common runtimes. Two installer variants are available depending on your deployment method.
Downloads
| Variant | Use Case | Download Link |
|---|---|---|
| UI Installer | Interactive installation with checkbox selection | RuntimeInstallerUI-2.1.0.exe |
| CLI Installer | Automated / scripted deployment | RuntimeInstaller-2.1.0.exe |
Included Runtimes
The table below lists all runtimes included in the installer. The Installed by Default column reflects the default checkbox state in the UI installer and the default behavior of the CLI installer. Runtimes not installed by default must be explicitly selected via the UI or specified using the -i flag in the CLI.
ℹ️ Runtime versions current as of ProfileUnity / FlexApp 6.9.5
The runtime versions listed below reflect the installer package shipped with ProfileUnity and FlexApp version 6.9.5. Runtime versions may be updated in future releases. Always use the installer package that corresponds to your installed version of ProfileUnity or the FlexApp Packaging Console.
