Mass deploy Cloud Drive Mapper (CDM)

You can now silently mass-deploy CDM on x64 and ARM64 devices using MSI or EXE installers. However, regardless of how you deploy it, you can’t do so successfully without first ensuring that the following runtime components have been installed:

  • Minimum requirement: Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime

  • Minimum requirement: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8

  • Mandatory requirement for x64 devices: Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 8 (x64)

  • Mandatory requirement for ARM64 devices: Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 8 (x64 and ARM64)

More importantly, Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 8 must be installed before deploying CDM. This is not an issue if you choose to deploy CDM silently using the executable file, as it will automatically install all required components in the correct sequence.

However, when you deploy CDM silently using the MSI file, you must ensure that .NET Desktop Runtime 8 is installed before deploying CDM, as the MSI file can’t install it at the beginning of the installation process due to the way its execution sequence works. It installs the other two components automatically while installing CDM.
