Description

All

There are two known issues for installing CloudShell on a “clean” PC with no existing components:

  • Setup may require a reboot. Make sure to log back in as the same user that started the installation.
  • If setup does not restart automatically, you have to restart it manually.

All

A new installation should run between 10-30 minutes. The installation itself takes less than 10 minutes. Initial configuration should not take more than 20 minutes.

All

Installing CloudShell prerequisites requires administration privileges on the installation machine.

All

There is a filename length limitation in CloudShell that forces the user to locate the installation files on a non-deep location (for example, c:\temp) before executing the installer.

AllWhen installing CloudShell on a virtual machine, external anti-virus applications running on the hypervisor may impact installation performance. Therefore, if performance issues occur, it is recommended to add CloudShell configuration files to the anti-virus white list.
