Read&Write for Work (Windows) - Using The Multi-User Setup Tool

Introduction

The Read&Write Multi-User Setup Tool allows administrators to configure Read&Write to be deployed across multiple computers on their network. It creates a customized MSI file that can be distributed using your organization's preferred software deployment method, enabling users to access Read&Write without needing to complete additional setup.

This article explains how to create an MSI for network deployment and how to configure Read&Write on a single computer.

• Read&Write is already installed on the computer.
• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 is installed on the computer.
