The Novell Application Launcher plug-in is a simplified version of Novell Application Launcher that is installed via the Web and enables launching of user-associated applications. Installation of the Application Launcher plug-in occurs when users access a Web page (myapps.html) from a workstation that does not have the Desktop Management Agent (or previous versions of the agent or the Novell Client) installed. After the Application Launcher plug-in is installed on a workstation, you can use it to distribute the Desktop Management Agent to the workstation.
For information about installing the Application Launcher plug-in, see Installing the Novell Application Launcher Plug-In.
After installation of the Application Launcher plug-in to a user's workstation, the user has access to user-associated applications. You can configure an MSI Application object to distribute the Desktop Management Agent (zfdagent.msi). Make sure that the security level for the MSI Application object is configured to Run Normal. Users must also have Administrator rights to run zfdagent.msi. For information about creating an MSI Application object, see "Distribution: Simple Applications" in "Application Management" in the Novell ZENworks 6.5 Desktop Management Administration Guide.
