Determine which installation method is used for the on-demand target

The configuration of the on-demand installation method properties determines which installation method is used for the on-demand target.

When you configure the ondemand.enable.plugins, ondemand.enable.executable, and ondemand.enable.jnlp properties, use the following information to help you determine which installation method is used for the on-demand target.

Note: The executable installation method is the only method available when you are using the on-demand target on a macOS device.

Note: The installation of the Firefox plug-in does not complete successfully on Firefox Version 57 or higher as Mozilla dropped support for legacy add-ons. The support for this installation method is deprecated in Remote Control starting from Version 9.1.4. IF0003 (Build Number 0309).
