Abstract

System and method are described for seamlessly installing applications on remote virtual desktops from installation files located on the local client device by redirecting the installation to the virtual desktop, while giving users an experience akin to installing applications on the local operating system. A request can be received on the client device to install an application from a corresponding installation file located on the client device, in a remote virtual desktop. In response to the request, a virtual desktop session can be established on the virtual desktop and the installation file can be redirected to the virtual desktop, where it can be launched to begin installing the application. To enable user interaction during the installation process, the application installation user interface (UI) can be streamed to the client device and user inputs into the installation UI can be conveyed back to the virtual desktop to be effectuated therein.
