Windows Stealth Installation Last updated June 2, 2026 · Desktop Connect

Stealth installation deploys Desktop Connect invisibly in the background with no system tray icon visible to the user. Intended for corporate deployments where IT wants silent operation.

IMPORTANT: Admin privileges are required for stealth installation. Do not rename the installer file — the filename contains your account's license key.

Installation Steps

1 Download the stealth installer. Log in to the Prodoscore admin portal > profile icon > Download Apps > Windows > Stealth

The filename will be encoded (e.g., eyJza2V5IjoiLi4uIn0.exe) and contains your license token. Do NOT rename it.

2 Locate the downloaded .EXE file

3 Double-click to launch the installer (or use command-line deployment with MSIEXEC)

4 A Windows Defender SmartScreen popup appears. Click "More info" then "Run anyway"

5 Another popup asks: "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?"

Click "Yes" to grant admin privileges for installation

6 The installer runs silently in the background (no visible UI). Installation completes automatically within 1-2 minutes.

7 No application window appears. Installation is complete when the installer process finishes.

The stealth agent is now running in the background invisibly.

After Installation

MyZen Stealth will:

  • Run completely invisibly (no system tray icon, no window)
  • Launch automatically at system startup
  • Collect activity data automatically (no need to manually punch in/out)
  • Operate based on shift configuration (assumes active during shift hours)

Users will not see any indication that Desktop Connect is running. The agent operates silently in the background.

Verification

To confirm stealth installation is working (without visible indication):

  • Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) > Processes tab
  • Search for "MyZenV2s" (the stealth executable)
  • Also look for "zsrvc" process
  • Both should be running

If not running immediately after installation, restart the computer. The stealth agent starts automatically after restart.

Stealth Installation via Command Line

For scripted deployment via RMM tools or Group Policy:

MyZenV2s-setup.exe /exenoui /qn

Or with MSI (if available):

MSIEXEC /i MyZenV2.msi -Quiet

See Deploying via Command Line for more command-line options and MDM tool compatibility.

Stealth vs. Standard

Use Stealth when: You want invisible deployment, admin-managed computers, corporate policy requires silent monitoring.

Use Standard when: More transparency desired, users see the app icon, manual punch in/out preferred, or admin rights not available.

Both collect the same data. The difference is visibility and interaction model.

Important Note: Even with stealth deployment, be transparent with employees. Many jurisdictions require employees be informed that monitoring is active. Ensure proper notice and consent is in place before deploying stealth mode.
