By default, the Wrike Document Editor is installed per user, in the Roaming folder, which is a personal folder for each Windows user profile. However, sometimes installations to the Roaming folder are restricted due to security policies. In this case you can use a per-machine installer that installs the application to Program Files or the Terminal Server installer.
Download the installer:
-
Per-machine installer: For use when local workstations are combined in a domain and all users are working on separate independent computers, with credentials issued by the administrator. This installer can be used to install Document Editor to Program Files on users' computers. Document Editor is installed by admin via Microsoft's Group Policy (GPO) or other mass-installation method at admin's discretion.
-
Terminal server installer: For use when there is one terminal server, and all user accounts are located on it. This installer can be used to install Document Editor to Program Files on Windows Server OS starting from Windows Server 2012. This Document Editor supports multiple terminal (remote desktop) sessions on the server.
-
All users need to uninstall Document Editor from their computers. If no Document Editor was installed, you can skip this step.
-
Install the downloaded version of the Document Editor (Per-machine or Terminal Server).
-
Follow the prompts and the Document Editor will be installed for admins and all users (including External Users and Collaborators).
Note
Please contact Wrike Customer Support if you'd like to disable Document Editor update prompts in the Wrike workspace for all members of your account. These prompts suggest installing the regular version of Document Editor which, if installed, will conflict with the custom version of Document Editor (Per-machine or Terminal Server). Disabling the update prompts should help to avoid incorrect updates. Whenever Document Editor is released, we'll send updated links to the Per-machine/Terminal Server installer for a centralized update process.
