This page covers installing AgentOS as an OS service (Windows system service). For standalone mode, see the Standalone Installer.

Prerequisites

  • Windows (Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2019+)
  • Administrator rights — the installer will prompt for elevation if needed.

Enterprise Ready

The installer ships with enterprise security requirements built in:
  • Signed binaries — no need to bypass SmartScreen, Gatekeeper, or Execution Policies.
  • Separated binaries and data — program files and configuration/data are stored separately, following security best practices.
  • Enterprise proxy and CA support — compatible with deep packet inspection setups.

UI Installation

  1. Run the AgentOS installer (EXE).
  2. If prompted, approve the administrator elevation request.
  3. Go through the installer and open the config page to set options.
  4. Click Install and wait for completion.
  5. Click Finish. If the installer asks to reboot, restart the machine so all changes take effect.

Silent Installation

For scripts, CI, or unattended setups, run the installer from an elevated command prompt (Run as administrator).
Replace <version> with the actual version number of your installer (e.g. 26.2.1.3).
Basic silent install (defaults):
"AskUI-Agent-OS-<version>-Service-Installer-Win-AMD64.exe" /qn
Custom install with options:
"<installer_path>" /qn APPDIR="C:\ASKUI" /l*vx installer.log
See Configuration for all available installer parameters.

After Installation

  • Default install path: C:\Program Files\askui GmbH\AskUI AgentOS
  • The AskUI Python SDK automatically detects the service and uses it instead of standalone mode.
  • After uninstalling the app, the SDK falls back to standalone mode.

Uninstalling

Do not remove or stop only the service from Windows Services. Always uninstall the full AskUI AgentOS application to clean up correctly.
