Or you can install the .exe on a test machine, take a copy of the folder Scratch Desktop from C:\Program Files (86)\ (I think could be C:\Program Files) and put it in a network share and create a GPO to create the folder structure and copy the files to the computers you want it on. Then create a shortcut that points to where you copied the files to that points to scratch desktop.exe, for me the path was C:\Program Files\Scratch Desktop\Scratch Desktop.exe. My GPO: Computer\Preferences\Windows Settings\Folders New Folder: C:\Program Files\Scratch Desktop New Folder: C:\Program Files\Scratch Desktop\locales New Folder: C:\Program Files\Scratch Desktop\resources New Folder: C:\Program Files\Scratch Desktop\swiftshader Computer\Preferences\Windows Settings\Files New Files: Source \\Your\Network\share\Scratch Desktop\*.* Destination C:\Program Files\Scratch Desktop\ New Files: Source \\Your\Network\share\Scratch Desktop\locales\*.* Destination C:\Program Files\Scratch Desktop\locales\ New Files: Source \\Your\Network\share\Scratch Desktop\resources\*.* Destination C:\Program Files\Scratch Desktop\resources\ New Files: Source \\Your\Network\share\Scratch Desktop\swiftshader\*.* destination C:\Program Files\Scratch Desktop\swiftshader\ Not as clean as an msi but if you want to do it all via gpo thats the workaround I came up with. Note: Make sure the folder "Scratch Desktop" you copy to the network share has read access for authenticated users or the files wont copy.
