  • We use a VMware Horizon "Instant clone" infrastructure. As part of this we need to pre-install apps that require elevation in to a base (common) image that is then provided to each user when they login. Their Windows profile is attached to the "clone" image upon login, and they have all of their settings. Our issue is that we pre-install the Docuware Desktop apps (and can see them when users login as running processes), but when a user tries to Connect from Docuware they are prompted to install the apps (which are already installed and running). This causes us a lot of issues, and limits our Docuware experience.

    We need to figure out how to either be able to pre-install the desktop app, and have it work for the users or install the desktop apps WITHOUT elevation, and have them simply run in the user space.

    Please advise.
