you'll be a linux convert next

Well, maybe, but linux isn't free :-)

To be able to use the user logon script do i need to put the group policy configuration on an OU that has user accounts within or can i put it on an OU with only computers in but configure group policy on the user part?

No, the user part needs to "hit" the user object in the OU structure.

If you need to use the computer part to execute scripts or commands at user logon, use this:
gpo:Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon, Run these programs at user logon

Another way is to create a group policy for audacity and only add those machines that you want it installed on. Then add the user logon script to that GPO.

The script will then only run when anyone uses the machines with audacity on.

Although it will "clutter" up the registry there's no harm in having this in every user's registry - it doesn't "do" anything.

If you really don't want it on every machine then you could adapt @tomscaper's code so that it checks to see if Audacity is installed.

set oShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
set oFSO=createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
if ofso.fileexists("c:\Program Files\Audacity\audacity.exe") then 
  oShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Audacity\Audacity\MP3\MP3LibPath" , "C:\Program Files\Audacity\Plug-Ins\libmp3lame-3.97\lame_enc.dll" , "REG_SZ"
  oShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Audacity\Audacity\Version" , "1.2.6" , "REG_SZ"
  oShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\Audacity\Audacity\PrefsVersion" , "1.1.1r1" , "REG_SZ"
end if

Finally (!!) why not just push it out everywhere - it's free and installs pretty quickly :-)

I thought i saw a post with a link to a msi file for audacity somewhere but i have had a quick search and can not find anything.

Could anyone be kind enough to let me know if one exsists anywhere?

Thanks

How about putting it in a shared area for them too access it

We have done that

I was told that my audacity msi zip file is corrupt so i am re uploading it. Could not edit my other post.

Hi all,

5 years of systems management for a K-12, and I just found this forum! I'm excited to start exploring more.

I came looking for Audacity tips, and I'd like to check out the MSI, but both instances of the file are coming down as corrupted for me as well... Is there any alternate download location?

Thanks.

The new is coming down as corrupted for me as well Tomscaper.

[tomscaper]

Is this one any good i was zipping them with 7zip but i have just used the one that comes with windows to see if that solves the problem.

Anyone had any luck with getting lame installed (from a script) for this version?
The scripts above don't seem to work. I've noticed that there is a version number in the registry entries...

I removed the entries from the registry, restarted the PC but lame still worked so I wasn't convinced that these entries are the ones needed in 1.3.9.

I'm planning on using sysinternals process explorer to check to see what changes are made whilst lame is installed through the application but just had to reinstall my test box and was hoping to save reinventing the wheel

I'll throw my hat in as well....anyone got an MSI for the latest version of Audacity? Have been asked to update our current installations, as out IT teacher is going to teach himself how to use Audacity over the Christmas break, so would like the same version so the students can access the same version that he is trying to teach them!

Hi,

Sorry to drag this up but i cant see the point in making another thread. Does anybody have the latest version in msi format?

Thanks

No, but unless it's changed all Audacity needs is the correct files in program files, a shortcut and one little registry entry to associate the project files.

Shouldn't take you very long with Free Windows Installer - MSI Installer Tool

Unless it's changed the location of Lame encoder is stored in user's profile as is the language, so you might want to amend your mandatory profile or whatever you use to reflect this.

I know this is an old thread but I just find it and am very very grateful to find this MSI!! Thank you!
