I would like to suggest providing a true machine-wide installer for TimeXtender Orchestration & Data Quality.

Currently, the MSI appears to install the application in the user context, placing the application files under the installing user’s local AppData profile. This works for single-user desktop installations, but it is not ideal for shared RDP or terminal server environments.

Many customers use TimeXtender on central servers with multiple users instead of installing it locally on each client machine. In these scenarios, administrators need to install the application once at machine level and make it available to all authorized users.

A machine-wide installer should ideally install the application under C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86), create shared Start Menu shortcuts, and keep only user-specific settings, cache, and logs in each user’s AppData profile.

This would make deployment much easier and cleaner in managed customer environments where end users do not have local installation permissions.

Good suggestion Philipus. We are currently moving most of the functionality of the desktop app to our web portal, removing (or reducing) the need to install the MSI version.
Would that be helpful?

Yes, that would definitely help, provided that the core Orchestration features are fully covered in the web portal.

For us, this would mainly include process design and management, scheduling, and Process Maps. If these capabilities can be handled completely through the portal, the need for a machine-wide desktop installation would be significantly reduced.
