Deploying Zoho Cliq MSI using ManageEngine Endpoint Central
As an IT administrator, you can install the Zoho Cliq desktop application on Windows using either the EXE installer for individual installations (per user installation) or the MSI installer for system-wide deployment (per machine installation).
Installation per user
EXE installers are used for per-user installations, applying only to a single Windows user account. Each user on the machine must install it separately.
Note: The EXE installer cannot be configured for silent installation.Installation per machine
Suitable for machines with multiple Windows user accounts.
Note:
- The MSI is suitable for silent installation.
- The MSI file installs the Cliq Machine-Wide Installer, which deploys the app for all Windows user accounts on the machine. The app installs automatically when users log in for the first time after deployment.
To install Cliq MSI using Manage Engine End point central, you need to create a package and install the software.
Create Package
- Navigate to Endpoint Central and go to Package Creation.
- Click Packages.
- Select Add Package → Windows.
- Enter the package details, including the package name, type, license type, and installation location (installable from the local computer).
- Click Add Package.
Install Software
- Navigate to the Software Deployment tab.
- Select the Deployment option and click Install/Uninstall Software.
- Under Windows, choose:
- User Configuration for .exe installation.
- Computer Configuration for MSI installation.
- Enter the required details, such as name and description, and select the package you created.
Important: Disable the checkbox that allows users to interact with the installation/uninstallation window. - Under Apply Deployment Policy, select Download immediately and deploy during the deployment window.
- In Define Target, choose the machines where the installation should take place. You can:
- Select a Domain.
- Filter computers based on criteria such as machine type, operating system, or IP address.
- Exclude specific targets if needed.
- Review the settings and click Deploy.
View Configurations
- The installation will be scheduled and executed one by one.
- Once the installation is complete, you will see the Cliq Deployment Tool in the Programs and Features section of the Control Panel.
- The deployment tool installs the app for each user account on the Windows device when the user signs in for the first time after the tool has been installed.
- The user account must not have an existing version of Cliq installed. If a version is already installed, the deployment tool will skip the installation for that account. In such cases, deleting %LOCALAPPDATA%\cliq and signing in again will trigger the installation.
