Installing apps with MCStudio

Mobi Control - 15.1.0.3413

MCStudio - 15.1.0 Build 2407

Windows Desktop Classic Agent

We have Windows 10 Embedded tablets in the field and we need to push Net Framework (EXE File) and Velocity (MSI).  These devices are locked down and the user doesn't have authority to install applications.  How do I create packages for these 2 types of files giving the proper authority to install the app?  We can use a local user or an admin user on our domain that has authority.  Can I accomplish this using a script?

Can I also do what I'm trying to do above with Windows Classic instead of Windows Modern?  The challenge I have is the tablets in the field are already Classic so I'm just trying to update apps on the device.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello Ryan,

Thank you for your post, for the exe files this is possible.

But it seems not for the .msi files. Those need to be ran as administrator, it is a Windows security setting and MobiControl cannot override it. 

For the .msi files, please try the following:
- create a package for the file
- create also a batch to execute that file with the necessary switches, parameters you need
- include this batch file to the package
- use a post install script on the package to run the batch file with the "run as" command to run it as administrator.

Please let me know if this works for you.
 
Regards,
