Install a Horizon Agent Patch

You can install a Horizon Agent hotpatch where Horizon Agent is already installed without needing to uninstall and reinstall Horizon Agent. You can also install a patch silently.

You can install the latest patch which is included in a Horizon Agent build.

Prerequisites

• In Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features, verify Horizon Agent is already installed and note the build number.
• In Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Installed Updates, verify the Horizon Agent Update Patch is the same build number as the Horizon Agent build.

Procedure

1. To start the Horizon Agent installation program, double-click the Horizon Agent Update Patch installer file. The installer filename is -Horizon-Agent-x86_64-YYMM-y.y.y-xxxxxx.msp, where YYMM is the marketing version number, y.y.y is the internal version number, and xxxxxx is the build number.

2. Select Repair from these three options:

   • Modify: add or remove the components that are installed.
   • Repair: install patches, fix missing or corrupt files, shortcuts, and registry entries.
   • Remove: remove Horizon Agent from the computer.

3. Follow the prompts to finish the installation.

4. Restart the system for the changes to take effect.

What to do next

Verify the patch build number is updated in the registry and in Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Installed Updates > Patch update version.
