  • Microsoft projects has it’s own standalone installer that downloads and installas the latest version of the application when it’s run
    • Local version can be found at: \\smb\Toolbox\Installs\Projects\MicrosoftOfficeProjectSetup.exe
    • Since the application doesn’t have any options that you need to select, you can install it remotely through powershell or CMD through MeshCentral by just running the full filepath through Terminal. It wiill silently download and install projects with no user intervention required.
