Microsoft Small Basic. Install For All Users

[manamaga2512]

Hi all, I'm working on an image for our IT suites and the teacher has asked for Microsoft Small Basic on the machines. The issue I have is that the 'Browse' button during install is greyed out and so I can't change the install location other than as the logged in user, and obviously I want to install for all users. So having done some looking up online, I came across this piece of command and decided to try it on my machine before our test machine:

 

msiexec /i C:\Users\THIS IS ME\Downloads\SmallBasic.msi INSTALLDIR="c:\Program Files(x86)"

 

The install seemed to go well, so I logged on as another user and the program was indeed there in the All Programs folder. I click it to run it and nothing happened. So I navigated back to the All Programs folder and it had disappeared. It's almost like it knew it had been installed in a none-default location and had removed itself. Sounds a but mad I know but it's the only explanation I can think of. Does anyone else use Small Basic and how did you deploy this to machines for all users?

 

Many thanks.

Where do you wan't to install it to?

 

You can install it on your machine, copy the install folder to your desktop and use a program like Advanced Installer (The free version) to create a new msi and you can put the folder where ever you like.

 

If you would like instructions on how to use that software I don't mind giving you a hand.
