Code with MU

[itgeek]

Hi,

 

I am having issues trying to deploy and use mu when I have installed this on a shared students computers. Its trying to run from app data and looks like it doesn't like multiple users using it. Has anyone got this deployed and working?

 

Thanks in advance

https://codewith.mu/es/howto/1.0/install_windows#admins says use /S /AllUsers

Just looked at the instructions mentions the .exe. when try and download only offered .msi can someone point me in direction of correct link for download.

 

Tried to extract .msi

The last version of Mu that was based on the exe was 1.03 https://github.com/mu-editor/mu/releases/download/1.0.3/mu-editor_1.0.3_win64.exe

 

They then changed over to pup and included extra addons etc as part of the standalone installer which is now the msi version, so you'd need to use the msi switches if you want the latest one

MSI switches are standard though, but easier to deploy with GPO now it's MSI

We've just installed Mu and can't get it to not be in the AppData folder, but the other thing is when you run it, Impero is blocking it because it's trying to run "cmd.exe". Has anyone else had this, or found a working answer?

 

Thank you

I don't block cmd.exe, because how can you learn to program without touching a command line?

Looks like the MSI has the ALLUSERS property set to 2 and the MSIINSTALLPERUSER property set to 1 which will default it to the Local AppData folder.

 

If you run the .msi with ALLUSERS=1 then it'll install it to Program Files (x86). E.g:

 

msiexec /i MuEditor-win64-1.1.1.msi ALLUSERS=1
