How Do I Silently Install Foxit Workspace Desktop for IT Deployment?

Last updated September 3, 2026 · 3 min read · Tier L2 (IT Admin)

Short answer

The Foxit Workspace Desktop installer is a standard Windows Installer (.msi) package built with WiX, so it supports the usual msiexec silent-install switches for scripted deployment (SCCM, Intune, GPO, etc.). This is based on inspecting the installer's own metadata directly -- Foxit has not published official IT deployment documentation for this yet.

Applies to: Foxit Workspace Desktop, Windows (x64) -- version 0.1.3, build af140982 (the specific build inspected; other builds should be re-verified)What does the installer's own metadata say?

Querying the MSI's Property table directly confirms real values, including some not visible anywhere in the UI:

Property Value What it means
ProductName Foxit Workspace Display name used in Programs and Features
ProductVersion 0.1.3 The installed product version
Manufacturer FOXIT SOFTWARE INCORPORATED  
ProductCode {D2D2A59A-6B36-44A7-9874-FE7F90052073} Unique GUID for this exact build -- used for detection rules/uninstall in SCCM, Intune, or a script
UpgradeCode {D6555E78-21E4-4E70-BF17-8E5F6D8687C5} Stable across versions -- used by the installer to detect and upgrade prior installs
ALLUSERS 1 Installs per-machine (for all users), not per-user -- requires admin rights
ARPNOMODIFY 1 Hides the "Modify" button in Programs and Features -- only Repair/Uninstall are offered
WIXUI_INSTALLDIR INSTALLFOLDER The property name to override if you need a custom install path
WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOXTEXT Launch Foxit Workspace The installer offers a "Launch Foxit Workspace" checkbox on finish, checked by default

How do I install it silently? 
msiexec /i foxit-workspace-v0.1.3-build-af140982-windows-x64.msi /qn

To install to a custom folder and log the install for troubleshooting:

msiexec /i foxit-workspace-v0.1.3-build-af140982-windows-x64.msi /qn INSTALLFOLDER="D:\Apps\Foxit Workspace" /l*v install.logHow do I uninstall it silently, or reference it in a detection rule?
msiexec /x {D2D2A59A-6B36-44A7-9874-FE7F90052073} /qn

Use the ProductCode above for an SCCM/Intune application detection rule (MSI product code match) rather than a file-path or registry check, since it's stable for this exact build.
