Question:
How can certain Desktop Apps be hidden in the Client Setup?
Answer:
There are certain situations in which you want to hide or unhide specific Desktop Apps from the installation window, for example if the organization does not own an appropriate license or there is no need for it.
You can hide any of the apps that are installable from the Client Setup:
To do this, please follow these steps:
- Open the file C:\Program Files (x86)\DocuWare\Web\Platform\ClientSetup\ClientSetup.Settings.xml in a text editor
- Navigate to the Modules section (shown below)
