Install App Center on Windows
Before you start...
The Lianja App Center is the desktop client for running deployed Lianja Apps. If you want to develop Apps, you need the Lianja App Builder.
Do not run the Lianja App Center installer if you have already installed the Lianja App Builder. The Lianja App Builder installer includes both the Lianja App Builder and the Lianja App Center. The Lianja App Center installer should only be used for desktop client installations.
If you are distributing the Lianja App Center under the terms of your Lianja App Builder or Lianja APaaS Developer license, remember that the Lianja App Center can be included in your own installer. Download the distribution into your lianja\redist folder and see the template installer in the Deploy Workspace for how to run the Lianja App Center installation silently.
If you are installing Lianja v1.1 and previously set up environment variables for the Lianja v1.0 installation on an alternative drive, please unset the environment variables before proceeding with the Lianja v1.1 installation.
