This guide will also cover an issue where Draftable Pro MSI doesn't install due to existing installation files. This article will explain and how to diagnose this issue and apply a fix.
Microsoft Intune Installation
If you wish to deploy the Per-User MSI via Microsoft Intune for Draftable Legal here are the steps to be followed for successful deployment:
- Adding Draftable Legal MSI to Microsoft Intune
- Deploy Draftable Legal with Microsoft Intune
- Using Intune to deploy the product key via group policy
Adding Draftable Legal to Microsoft Intune
Before deploying the Draftable Legal application via Intune, it requires it to be added as a Windows App first. This is first done by ensuring the the Draftable Legal MSI is being used, and download link can be found here.
To continue this process, we recommend following the official Mircosoft Intune documentation on this process here.
Deploying Draftable Legal with Microsoft Intune
Now that Draftable Legal has been added as an app, we can deploy it via Microsoft Intune. For this process we recommend following the official Mircosoft Intune documentation on this process here.
Using Intune to deploy the product key via group policy
If you wish to use Microsoft Intune to manage product keys, this can be done using group policy within Intune. For this process we recommend following the official Mircosoft Intune documentation on this process here.
Alternatively you can deploy this by normal group policy method, which we have an article on here.
Draftable Legal MSI doesn't install due to an existing installation files
We understand there is an existing issue where the Draftble Legal MSI won't install. This might be due to the system already containing the %localappdata%/DraftableDesktop directory, and the installer may mistakenly assume that the application has already been installed.
Verify existing installation files
- Check if the %localappdata%/DraftableDesktop directory already exists on the system by navigating to the specified location.
- If the directory exists, proceed to the next step. Otherwise if this directory does not exist, get in touch with our support team at support@draftable.com and provide us with information relating to your issue.
Existing installation files fix and verification
- Delete the preexisting Draftable Directory before proceeding with the MSI installer. This is important if you've used the standard exe installer before.
- Run the MSI installation process (either via Intune or default MSI deployment)
- To verify the the installer is deployed correctly, an application named 'DraftableDesktop Deployment Tool' will be installed and listed under 'Programs and Features'.
If you have followed our fix or have in general questions regarding deployment, please get in touch with our support team at support@draftable.com and let us know your issue.
