Installing the Shopping Receiver
Installing the Shopping Receiver on the Configuration Manager CAS enables application deployments, using legacy or application model applications and Operating System deployments.
Prior to installation of each Shopping Receiver, complete the Preparation steps.
After installation each Receiver, you must use the Shopping Admin Console to add the Configuration Manager site to the Sites list. This authorizes the new Receiver to access the Shopping Central server, the procedure for this is described in Setting up Configuration Manager sites.
Note
If you intend installing Shopping Central and the Shopping Receiver services on the same server, install Shopping Central first.
Installing the Shopping receiver with the wizard
The installer MSI file for the Shopping Receiver is ShoppingReceiver.msi and will only run on a server using a supported server operating system with a local installation of a Configuration Manager site.
When running the MSI, ensure you:
Are logged on using your Installation account to install Shopping, refer to Preparation: Accounts to install Shopping for details
To install the Shopping receiver, start a command prompt with elevated rights using Run as administrator, change directory to the location where you downloaded ShoppingReceiver.msi and run the following suggested command-line:
msiexec /i ShoppingReceiver.msi /l*v ShoppingReceiverInstaller.log
Warning
The installer will terminate if a local installation of Configuration Manager site is not detected.

Receiver Service Account
Choose whether the Shopping Receiver service account uses Network Service or a domain account. See Preparation: Service accounts for more details.
If you're using a domain service account, enter the name and password for the account, you would have already set this up when you were Installing Shopping Central.
Click Next to go to the next screen.
Policy Refresh
Configure how policy refresh is implemented. Enable or disable its integration and set the refresh delay. The choices determines how the Receiver initiates a policy refresh on the client, effectively enabling a rapid software push to the user's machine
If the installer detects that 1E WakeUp Server is installed on the same server, WakeUp will be the default option. Otherwise, Native is the default
Selecting WakeUp or Native allows you to specify the Policy Refresh delay in seconds. The default is 10 seconds, which causes WakeUp or Shopping to send a policy refresh 10 seconds after the Shopping Receiver has added the machine to a collection and wait for Configuration Manager to create the machine policy and replicate it. The delay depends on the responsiveness of the Configuration Manger architecture.

Shopping URL Prefix

You will need to modify the URL prefix and replace the default <ShoppingCentralServer> with the host header for the Shopping website, refer to Installing Shopping Central: Shopping URL Prefix.
