Hello,

I want to deploy the 3CX Desktop App using WAPT.

I used the following function: `
install_msi_if_needed('3CXDesktopApp-18.3.33.msi')`.

My problem is that the application installs in C:\Users\current_user\AppData\Local\Programs\3CXDesktopApp.

How can this be managed in a WAPT package? Since the package is run under the System account, the user doesn't see the application in their account folder.

Is it possible to run the package under the user account?

Thank you in advance

Hello,

my problem is solved. The installation was done in the session setup, after copying the setup file to the machine beforehand.

Have a good day

Hello Pierre-Yves,

thank you for sharing this. We recommend using system-wide installers that install in Program Files whenever possible. However, more and more software is trying to install itself in AppData.

The advantage of not having software in AppData is that it allows you to activate AppLocker/SRP on the user profile, which is extremely effective against various malicious programs circulating on the internet.

Sincerely,

Denis
