Installation
Install Vediram Deck on a single machine, and where to go for fleet deployment
This page covers installing Deck on one machine interactively. For silent installs, MSI properties, and fleet rollout via Intune, Configuration Manager, or Group Policy, see the Deployment section.
Before you start
Confirm the machine meets the System Requirements. In short: Windows 10 22H2 / Windows 11, and Office 2016 or later. No separate .NET runtime is needed - it is bundled in the installer.
Download
Download the latest installer from the Vediram downloads page.
The installer is named VediramDeckSetup-<version>-x64.msi (for example, VediramDeckSetup-1.8.0-x64.msi). Administrators who script deployment can pull a specific version directly from the release CDN:
https://downloads.vediram.com/releases/deck/stable/v1.8.0/VediramDeckSetup-1.8.0-x64.msi
Install
Deck installs per-user by default, which requires no administrator rights:
- Double-click
VediramDeckSetup-<version>-x64.msi. - Follow the prompts.
- Deck starts automatically when installation finishes.
The application is installed to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Vediram\Deck, and a Vediram Deck shortcut is added under the Start menu (Vediram folder).
To install for all users on the machine instead, run the MSI with ALLUSERS=1 from an elevated prompt - see Silent & Command-Line Install.
Verify
After installation:
- Look for the Vediram Deck icon in the system tray (notification area, bottom-right of the taskbar). Its tooltip shows the active profile, or "No active profile" on a fresh install.
- Click the icon (or launch Vediram Deck from the Start menu) to open the main window.
- On first launch Deck scans your Office add-ins and captures your current configuration as the Original profile. See First Launch.
If the tray icon never appears or the window is blank, see Deck won't start.
Update
Installing a newer MSI over an existing installation performs an in-place upgrade and preserves your profiles and data. Downgrading is blocked. See Updates & Uninstall.
