# How to Install the Sequencer


Use the following procedure to install the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) 5.1 sequencer. The computer that will run the sequencer must not be running any version of the App-V 5.1 client.

Upgrading a previous installation of the App-V sequencer is not supported.

**Important**  
For a full list of the sequencer requirements see sequencer sections of [App-V 5.1 Prerequisites](app-v-51-prerequisites.md) and [App-V 5.1 Supported Configurations](app-v-51-supported-configurations.md).
