Install and pair the Windows worker
The MSI installs the background service and desktop approval companion. Python is not required.
Before you begin
- Use a Windows administrator account for installation.
- Create or choose a dedicated project folder.
- In the owner control centre, create a pairing file for a unique machine name.
Install
- Sign in to the owner control centre and open Add a computer.
- Download Windows · 64-bit and create the pairing file.
- Run the MSI as administrator. The installer opens Connect Umbraco.
- Select the pairing file, project folder, and optional Blender executable.
- Finish pairing and confirm the computer appears online in the control centre.
Remote work and recovery
The service starts at boot. The traffic-light tray companion starts at sign-in and lets you pause future polling. Commands and application access run as the signed-in normal user after desktop approval.
If pairing fails, create a new pairing file and confirm the computer clock and HTTPS access. Never send a pairing file through an untrusted channel.
