Package Types

There are 7 types of packages that you can create. All these types come with predefined basic settings, except for Custom package which is blank.


  • Install MSI
    Install an .MSI package, by uploading it or providing Application Workspace the network credentials to access it.
  • Install Mac App
    Install an app via a .PKG file on an MacOS platform.
  • Custom package
    Unlike the other types of packages that have some settings preconfigure for you to cover the basics, a custom package represents a complete blank template.
  • Local application
    Configure a launch action for an existing local app from the user's device.
  • Modify group membership
    Change the group memberships for Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and Active Directory. As a prerequisite for Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), you need to go to Identity Sources > Settings > Synchronization > Modifications and select Group membership. As a prerequisite for LDAP, you need to go to Identity Sources > Settings > Synchronization > Modifications and select All.
  • Remote application
    Deploy an app that launches a Remote desktop session.
  • Remote control
    Deploy a remote package to the user device and launch a remote control session for that device via your desired remote desktop software application.
  • Web application
    Make a link available to your users, that launches when they click on the Workspace app or when they log in for example.

The Superseded by products information that appears in the Create new package window shows all the product versions within Application Workspace Setup Store that supersede the currently selected version.
