Question:
Installation, update and uninstallation of the Desktop Apps can only be done by executing the ClientSetup or SilentSetup variant.
ClientSetup needs user input, SilentSetup has to be run in an administrative context and therefore prompts a User Access Control (UAC) within Windows.
This UAC has to be disabled for each system individually.
Running SilentSetup in a LocalSystem context cannot access a network location.
How can a software deployment software like Baramundi be used to manage the Desktop Apps?

Answer:
Using Windows Internal Tools we can combine parts of the ClientSetup and SilentSetup to be able to install the Desktop Apps in a LocalSystem context.
In the following article you will find step by step instructions to use the DocuWare ClientSetup within a software deployment.
For Cloud, the MSI will only be available in all current DocuWare 7.5 shards or after the update to DocuWare 7.5.
First you will need certain URLs depending on your system:
For DocuWare Cloud, you use your cloud URL, orgname.docuware.cloud, as baseURL. For OnPremises you use the URL used to connect to the WebClient.
Cloud:
https://[baseURL]/docuware/Platform/ClientSetup/Docuware.ClientSetup.msi
OnPremises:
http(s)://[baseURL]/docuware/ClientSetupData/Docuware.ClientSetup.msi
Depending on your software deployment environment, you have different limitations concerning the length of commands/switches.
Choose the option suitable to your software deployment. The methods differ in the initial MSI call and the following SilentSetup commands.
Within each method, you will find a step to install the Desktop Apps and to uninstall the Desktop Apps.
The following steps must be executed in order:
Pre-installation: create the folder
Installation: Run the MSI via MSIEXEC
Post installation: Execute the SilentSetup installation steps
You can use the same commands to implement an update command for the Desktop Apps, but keep in mind that since DocuWare 7.5 the update module is capable of updating the Desktop Apps without administrative rights.
For the update module to be installed, make sure to explicitly select it during the module installation process. It is not installed when using --install=auto.
Additionally, please note: Update is still prompting for admin rights on Terminal Servers.
The following examples use the URLs for a DocuWare Cloud system.
Method 1:
You need to adjust the following URL using the same logic as above:
http(s)://[baseURL]:[port]/DocuWare/Platform/Home/ClientSetupInfo?orgId=[OrgGuid]&baseAddress=https%3a%2f%2f[baseURL]%3a[Port]%2fDocuWare%2fPlatform
Pre-step create folder
REM Create log directory in advance
if not exist "%AllUsersProfile%\DocuWare\ClientSetup" md "%AllUsersProfile%\DocuWare\ClientSetup"
Install MSI
REM Install DocuWare.ClientSetup.MSI
msiexec /I "http(s)://[baseURL]/docuware/Platform/ClientSetup/Docuware.ClientSetup.msi" /qn PLATFORMPATH="http(s)://[baseURL]:[port]/DocuWare/Platform/Home/ClientSetupInfo?orgId=[OrgGuid]&baseAddress=https%3a%2f%2f[baseURL]%3a[Port]%2fDocuWare%2fPlatform" STARTGUI=0 /l*vx "%AllUsersProfile%\DocuWare\ClientSetup\Install-DocuWareClientSetup.msi.log"
The step "if not exist" is needed because the folder for logging has to be available. Best used in a pre-installation step, then run the msiexec installation with adjusted URL as listed.
In case of a Cloud System, the Organization ID is not required to be added after "--orgId=".
The --orgID is also not required for On-Premises Systems which only contain one DocuWare Organization and "[OrgGuid]" can simply be removed.
Post step install modules
REM Install all allowed modules
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\DocuWare\Client Setup\DocuWare.Setup.Client.Cmd.exe" install --auto
REM Install specific modules
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\DocuWare\Client Setup\DocuWare.Setup.Client.Cmd.exe" install --modules="AdminTool Scanner Printer Import"

The install commands above can be used for a Cloud System or On-Premises systems with only one DocuWare Organization.
The --orgID is also required for On-Premises Systems with more than one DocuWare Organization.
