  • APPX
    Note: Upload an APPX file, which can be x86, x64, or ARM. However, the APPX installs only on devices that use the same architecture. For example, if you use ARM, Workspace ONE UEM does not queue an installation command for the x64 and x86 architectures. It does not push the application to devices with x64 or x86 architectures.
  • EXE: Upload an EXE package of Win32 applications for Windows Desktop and Windows Server.
  • MSI: The MSI file, also called a Windows Installer, is a package that contains everything to install, maintain, and remove the software.
  • ZIP: Upload a ZIP package of Win32 applications for Windows Desktop and Windows Server.
