Group policy is blocking the installer from running in app data ( due to security) Help!

We cant run go to assist since yesterday, no changes our side, could it be that the installer location has changed to users/appdata ?

    I don't know if I'm allowed to put links in here, but the solution at this one was the answer that worked, must give credit where creit is due. Thank you, Kevin Arrows! Author! #2 worked. (And thanks to my IT guy for finding this article.)

I'm very sorry, the local appdata folder is required in order to launch the GoToMeeting application during the web browser flow.

 

Have you considered the Multi-User MSI at all?

    The MSI didn't work for me. I had to whitelist the path in the group policy. Since so much malware uses the appdata folder to process, you should really consider changing the path.

        JohnA1  If you do not have permissions to run downloads through the AppData folder, have you considered using the GoToMeeting Web App instead?
