Installing the CDESK Desktop Application on a computer

We will guide you through the installation of the CDESK Desktop Application step by step. It is based on the “.NET CORE” technology, the core of which must be installed on the computer and the latest Microsoft Edge browser is required for proper functioning. Both components, if missing on the computer, the installer automatically includes in the installation. The installer is available on the CDESK website under the Download section. The latest version is updated automatically and offered to you when released.

1. In the installation wizard, choose the preferred language you want to use and then select “Next >”.

2. In the Setup section, check “I accept the terms in the License Agreement” and then click “Next >”.

  3. In the selection of the installation folder, check the “Product install path” to see if the installation location suits you. If the path does not suit you, click the “Browse” button and select the repository. If the path suits you, click “Next”.

  4. Wait for the Installation Wizard to install the product.

Switching to Test Versions

You can switch the CDESK Application from the production version to the Beta/Alpha test version. Versions that come directly out of development are referred to as Alpha and versions that have passed basic testing are referred to as Beta versions. Do not make the switch unless you have checked with CDESK support, as a particular Alpha/Beta version may not be suitable for your environment. You must also expect a higher labor intensity when upgrading to a more stable version, which must be done by uninstalling and installing the CDESK client. The switch can be done in My Profile -> Settings -> Gear icon.
