Deploying without Office add-in(s), Shortcuts and iManage Listener service via scripted automated installs
The following steps are suitable for administrators deploying Draftable Desktop via a command line interface, InTune or similar. It outlines how to programmatically control features being installed by the MSI via the well-known ADDLOCAL property (link to Microsoft Learn page). This allows administrators to provide a comma separated list of features to be installed.
The features available for specification are listed in the table below
| Feature name ("Title") | Feature ID ("Feature") |
| Draftable for Outlook | OutlookAddin |
| Draftable for Word | WordAddin |
| Desktop | DesktopShortcut |
| Start Menu | StartMenuShortcut |
| iManage HTTP Listener Service | iManageHttpListener |
Use the ADDLOCAL property to programmatically specify which 'Features' are installed by the MSI by listing the Feature ID (see table above). Note, this property specifies what IS INSTALLED. Features absent from this property will NOT be installed.
Below is an example of how to install Draftable Desktop in a command line interface without the Outlook add in but including the Word Add in and the two shortcuts and the iManage HTTP Listener Service.
C:\Users\Lab\Desktop>msiexec /i DraftableDesktopSystem.msi ADDLOCAL=StartMenuShortcut,DesktopShortcut,iManageHttpListener,WordAddin
Based on the above, running the installer would result in the following Advanced UI set up:
