Each desktop installer has trade-offs, different recommended deployment scenarios, advantages, and installation steps.

Configuring Draftable Clean settings

Draftable Clean offers a range of settings for license deployment, application configuration, and update management — configurable via Group Policy, Windows Registry, or Microsoft Intune. See Configuring preferences for your organization, or go directly to Group Policy or Microsoft Intune configuration guides.

This installer is recommended for most scenarios and is the default installer provided. It’s the easiest to use and has minimal requirements — ideal for individual users and small teams.

Benefits

  • No administrator privileges are required for installation
  • Updates are automatically downloaded and applied in the background

Notes

  • Each user on the system needs to run the installer (per-user deployment)
  • Each user maintains their own copy of the product and settings

Installation

Download the installer: DraftableCleanSetup.exe
2
Run the installer and follow the prompts, which will include selecting the install location and entering the product key.
3
Draftable Clean is installed and ready to use. See the Quick Start Guide to clean your first document.

Machine-Wide MSI

PropertyValue
Also Known AsNative MSI, Per-Machine MSI
Installer TypeMSI (Windows Installer)
Installer ScopeSystem (machine-wide)
Requires AdminYes
Recommended scenariosCitrix and Remote Desktop Services (RDS) deployments, high-security environments, enterprise rollouts
Download URLDraftableCleanSystem.msi
This installer is recommended for enterprise deployment scenarios where a single, shared installation is required. The most common scenario is Microsoft RDS and Citrix deployments where a single shared installation is desired, typically for storage efficiency. The MSI installer is a system-wide installer — the software is installed to a system-wide location and can be launched by all users of the system, including concurrently as in RDS and Citrix deployments.

Benefits

  • A single installation can be shared by all users on that machine
  • Administrators have full control over update management
  • Supports concurrent usage by multiple users on the same machine
  • Compatible with enterprise deployment tools (SCCM, Intune, etc.)

Notes

  • Administrator rights are required for the initial installation and all updates
  • All product updates must be manually downloaded and installed
As of v26.6.0, Draftable Clean has migrated to .NET 10 and the MSI installer no longer requires the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime as a separate prerequisite. This can simplify allowlisting for IT teams that previously managed that dependency separately.

Installation

1
Download the MSI installer: DraftableCleanSystem.msi
2
Run the installer with administrator rights.
3
On the installation menu, select the Advanced option and click Next to access the feature selection menu.
4
On the Advanced screen, you will see an expandable feature tree. Expand the Draftable Clean node, then use the arrow beside HTTP service to ensure it is set to install. This allows the application to run in the background and open without requiring users to open the application first.
5
Continue through the remaining prompts.
6
Draftable Clean is installed and ready to use for all users on the machine.

Custom MSI deployment via scripted automated installs

The following steps are suitable for administrators deploying Draftable Clean via a command line interface, Intune, or similar. Below is a basic example of how to install Draftable Clean via the command line. This example shows installation including the HTTP Listener Service.
Start-Process msiexec -ArgumentList '/i "DraftableCleanSystem.msi" ADDLOCAL=StartMenuShortcut,DesktopShortcut,HttpListener INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Draftable"' -Wait
If you need further assistance deploying the Draftable Clean machine-wide MSI via the command line, please contact support@draftable.com.
For automated deployment, the MSI installer can be deployed silently using standard enterprise deployment tools such as Microsoft SCCM, Microsoft Intune, or Group Policy Software Installation.
