CamGrabber installation on Windows

CamGrabber ships for Windows in two forms: a standalone MSI installer and a Chocolatey package. Both install the same signed binaries.

MSI installer

Run the CSCamGrabberSetup MSI package and follow the wizard. The installer and the binaries are digitally signed by CityScreen, so Windows shows a verified publisher.

After installation CamGrabber starts automatically with Windows. The daemon starts minimized — no window pops up over the screen content on boot. Use the tray icon to open the interface; see Day-to-Day Operations.

Chocolatey

If you manage player PCs with Chocolatey, install CamGrabber from the CityScreen repository the same way as the player packages.

Checking the installed version

Open the properties of the CamGrabber executable in Windows Explorer: Properties → Details. The File version field shows the installed CamGrabber version — for both MSI and Chocolatey installations.

One instance only

Only one CamGrabber instance can run at a time. Launching a second copy has no effect.

Next step

Connect CamGrabber to the player and your account: Connecting to Player and Server.
