Rocket.Chat.Electron Request: expanded customization options for cmdline .exe install

Request: expanded customization options for cmdline .exe install

Open havx opened this issue 8 years ago • 8 comments

I will be deploying and updating the Windows client throughout my organization and it will be a huge benefit to me and other sysadmins to have more cmdline arguments to customize the install and be able to setup a default server so the end user does not need to do that step at first launch.

My wish list of cmdline arguments are as follows:

Install the client for every user account: /ALLUSERS="0" or "1"
Include/exclude the desktop shortcut: /DESKTOP="0" or "1"
Include/exclude the start menu entry: /STARTMENU="0" or "1"
Toggle whether or not to run at user account startup: /AUTOSTART="0" or "1"
Specify the installation directory: /D="path"

As for configuring a server during install for all users on the machine... whatever is the simplest way that can be accomplished will be OK with me. Whether that is via a simple argument like /SERVER="url" or if an external file needs to be loaded (if this change would require some additional data that won't quite work as standalone arguments) like /LOADFILE="path".

Many, many thanks in advance for considering any of the above suggestions.

For reasons of deployment and configuration, this would be a really good improvement. This would make administration of rocket.chat-environments a lot easier +1 (y)

/allusers, /currentuser, and /d options are already present.

@tassoevan That's great and it works! Do you have by any chance a pointer to all available options? I collected /S from other tickets, but I wonder if there's more. Thanks in advance!
