Workspace Control 2024.3 (10.18.40.0)

New Enhancements and Improvements

The following enhancements and/or improvements are part of this version of Workspace Control:

Fresh Installation- Fresh installation now prohibits path selection, restricting installation to the default directory.

Upgrade Installation- A warning is provided when users attempt to upgrade the application from a custom directory, ensuring awareness of potential security risks.

Unattended Installation- There are three scenarios:

  • When a custom path is used for installation, Workspace Control will log an exception in the installation log with an appropriate message and exit the installation process.

  • If a Workspace Control unattended installation is started without a specified path, it will be installed in the default directory.

  • If an incorrect application parameter (other than 'APPDIR') is provided during the installation, Workspace Control will be installed in the default directory.

Auto upgrade- Automatic upgrades will occur without displaying any warning messages.

If Workspace Control has been installed in a custom path, it must be uninstalled. Ivanti recommends installing Workspace Control in the default path and using silent installation for all future builds.
