Download for Windows

8x8 provides two Work for Desktop packages for Windows. The two packages are fundamentally different, using different deployment and update mechanisms. 8x8 strongly recommends employing the EXE installer, as it ensures that users are easily able to enjoy the latest fixes, features, and security enhancements available in Work for Desktop.

EXE Version for Per-User Deployment (Recommended)

The EXE version allows users to self-install and upgrade without need for central management, providing the best and most seamless user experience.

What to Consider

• With a new application name and disk path as of Work for Desktop v 7.1, IT admins should consider updating firewall and antivirus rules for the app.
• EXE version will be installed to %LOCALAPPDATA%.
• Automatic updates are downloaded and installed for the user. (In previous versions, users were prompted to install the update.)
• No need for maintenance — Work for Desktop will keep itself up-to-date and secure.
• Work for Desktop will check for updates every time the user signs in or once every 24 hours. Users can also check for updates manually. The updates are downloaded in the background without user intervention
• If there is an update to be installed, Work for Desktop will apply the update automatically when the user signs into Work for Desktop. If the user has not installed an update three days after it was downloaded, they will see a Relaunch to Install banner. They can click the link and install the update.

EXE version

MSI for Machine-Wide Installation

For companies that must strictly control software installs and updates, the Windows Installer file (MSI) package installs Work for Desktop machine-wide to the Program Files folder. By installing in the Program Files folder, it can be used by multiple users on one computer. Click here to learn more about managing Work for Desktop installations and updates.

What to Consider

• Single installation on a machine that multiple users that use the computer can leverage.
• IT Admins are required to manually keep Work for Desktop up-to-date and secure
