Prepare Desktop Virtual Machines : Install Pano DAS

Install Pano DAS
The Pano Desktop Additions Wizard walks you through the installation of the Pano Desktop Service (Pano DAS). You must install the Pano DAS on all DVMs that you want to access from Pano devices. However, start with one DVM initially because in Verify DVM Connectivity you need only one DVM to test connectivity. Once you verify connectivity, you can install the Pano DAS on all other DVMs.
To install the Pano DAS:
This version of the Pano DAS—v2.5.2, supports both Console Direct technology (Console Direct) and Pano Classic. By default the install wizard configures Pano DAS for Console Direct. After you complete this installation, you might need to switch between these modes, depending on your environment. For more information, go to Switch Connection Modes.

Copy the Pano DAS installer file (PanoDAS.msi) from the Pano media disk, or download the package to the DVM's local drive.
4.
Double-click on PanoDAS.msi. The Pano Desktop Additions Wizard launches. Follow the on-screen instructions.

The installer prompts you to close all open applications because the installer will automatically restart Windows in order to complete the installation.

(Windows XP) If prompted to install a Windows USB driver (USBD.sys), do so now. The installer can detect if this file is installed in C:/Windows/System32/drivers. Go to Install Pano Device USB Support.
If you plan to allow redirection of advanced USB devices such as printers, scanners or mass storage, you must first install the Windows USB driver (USBD.sys) on your virtual machine or template. Go to Install Pano Device USB Support.

If you don’t want to install the hotfix, perform the installation through the VMware Infrastructure Client (VMware VIC), or use a software distribution tool such as SMS.

If you decide to transfer this file by sending it to your work email account, consider that some Spam firewalls identify.zip files and .exe files as spam. As such, it’s best to email the file to a web mail account, or save the file to a USB key.

Wait 10 to 30 seconds. The installer tries to install the drivers, and temporarily disappears for about 10-30 seconds in order to enable you to see potential Windows alerts. Windows alerts are notorious for launching in the background.

If the Devices: Unsigned driver installation behavior setting in your GPO is set to Warn but allow installation, the wizard asks you to approve the installation of these unsigned drivers. You must approve to continue with the installation. Click Continue Anyway.
If the Devices: Unsigned driver installation behavior setting in your GPO is set to Do not allow installation, Windows displays a dialog box (an alert) because the Pano DAS installer wants to install unsigned drivers. Do the following:
From the wizard, click Cancel to manually exit the installation.
Change the Devices: Unsigned driver installation behavior setting in your GPO to allow unsigned drivers: Go to Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options, then change it to Silently succeed.
Uninstall Pano DAS: From the Windows Control Panel, double-click on Add or Remove Programs, go to Pano Desktop Additions and click Remove.

(Important!) Log on to the DVM.
If you don’t, your end-users might be prompted to type credentials with Administrator privileges. This behavior is caused by a Windows bug that is currently unresolved. The Administrator credentials are not necessary; users can dismiss the dialog, but the prompt may confuse or concern them.
