Install application on desktop (for individuals)
Install the Adobe Connect application (and other updates) from the Downloads and Updates page. The Adobe Connect application works only for Connect 11 and later versions.
Installation of the Adobe Connect application does not require administrative privileges. The stand-alone installer installs the application inside a custom directory structure as opposed to the system directory structure. Your Adobe Connect account administrator can make it mandatory to install the Adobe Connect application to join a meeting, a training, or a webinar.
Note:
Close all the running instances of the application before installing a newer version.
During the installation process, you can choose to create Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts for the Adobe Connect application. This feature is supported in Windows only.
Deploy application for desktop using MSI (for administrators)
The IT administrators can use Microsoft SCCM to deploy the application using MSI across all machines in their organizations.

The MSI installer is available on the Downloads and Updates page. The installer supports /l option for logging. For more information, see command-line options at MSDN.

If you are an individual user, directly download the relevant application installer from the Downloads and Updates page. Do not use the MSI installer.
During the MSI installation process, the start menu shortcut is created automatically. However, to configure a shortcut for desktop, the config.ini file can be created by following the below steps:
- Open a text editor, like Notepad.
- Add the shortcut config settings to your file.
- Save the file as config.ini.
- Place the config.ini file along with the MSI installer file.
- Run the MSI application silently from cmd as Admin.
After a successful installation, verify that the shortcut is being created as per the config.ini file.
