Hi anybody else trying to modify the default project location? I've had it mentioned as it points to C:\Users\%username%\... on my test package instead of to the users redirected documents folder. From what I've read on stackoverflow it looks like the setting is stored in a private application registry hive and I don't know how to modify that with group policy or during an install wrapper script. Just hoping somebody else has found a way of modifying these locations on mass rather than relying on each student to correctly change the project location each time or potentially loose work.

liamp did you get anywhere with this?

Did anybody else get the ? help icon on the tool bar in WinGHCi to work? In the HaskellPlatform-8.2.1-core-x86_64-setup.exe I've installed from it fails to open and when checking with procmon I see it trying to open it from "C:\Doc\html\index.html" when the files are installed to "C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\8.2.1\doc\html\index.html". Any thoughts and suggestions most welcome.

Just a quick thank you for speeding up my packaging of Haskell. Always nice to be able to skip the digging about to get things working.

We have been seeing this intermittently in our environment too. We did update the intel graphics drivers on our Ergo (zoostorm by another name) PC and it occurred less. We are currently trying out disabling windows fast start via gpo to see if it makes an improvement. We use impero and there is another thread on here relating to it causing this behaviour. We've not tried any testing on the new version though as got a few dependencies to tidy up before we can roll out the new version of impero client for other reasons.

Yes I have the same trust issues with in-place upgrades, but it seems a lot better now. We did a 1607 inplace upgrade TS that was released as a self-service (available deployment) and I see 133 deployment successful currently. We've had a few issues with some tablets needing USB hub drivers re-installed as it broke our USB proximity card readers, but by far the biggest issue was getting people to carry out the upgrade themselves. 50% did it or took up the offer of assisted upgrade but the last 50% have been slow to take it up. I'd suggest reading up the blog posts at Deployment Research > Research. I think Johan Arwidmark did some good videos back in 2015 on this subject, he sticks out a bit on youtube with his name.

I've not tried the servicing options myself but do remember watching an OSD video (Johan Ardwidmak probably can't recall) suggesting to just carry on using Task Sequences with required or available options as the deployment option that suits your needs. We've been using an in-place upgrade Task Sequence for Win10 1607 and it works fine. The problem is as it's only made available people chose not to bother and the complain Windows 10 is bad due to issues which we know are resolved in 1607.

Hi I'm wondering if anybody has had success in getting the windows store Instagram app to work with a non transparent proxy? I've tried setting the winhttp proxy value with netsh as some have suggested but still no joy. I just keep getting URL time-out errors. I can see using procmon that it's trying to talk direct to Instagram servers and not via our proxy server. Is this just a feature of the app that it won't redirect to a proxy or am I missing something? Any help much appreciated.

I'm interested in how you managed to adjust the install to make it work unattended and if it still applies to the current versions? I've been unable to get the Sibelius install to work when running under the system account as is needed for unattended SCCM installs. Sorry for reviving an old thread but these issues rarely seem to be addressed by the vendors properly.

Hi yup we do have focusrite audio devices for a few machines which will be the ones doing the real recording but the classroom has more computers and Music Dept didn't want to buy them for all the PC's. Unfortunately I off the day they met with my colleague about finalising the hardware spec. So some assumptions were made about on-board audio being good enough (I checked and confirmed the on-board sound doesn't have them on the bottom end chip we have). However for the use they want these other computers, which is mostly more about running the application and getting used to it etc, ASIO4ALL was decided to be good enough to make it run. The computers we've purchased this year (Gen6 i7's with SSD & 16GB RAM) run Sibelius 8 with a lot less latency than the 5 year old computers they replaced (i5 with HDD & 8GB RAM). Still not perfect but not tested them with the focusrite audio devices hooked up yet. Yes it was the case sensitive /S switch. Thought I'd already tired the usual suspects but evidently I ran it twice with a little /s instead. Thanks to everybody for the quick responses.

How did you run the scripted install as administrator? Interactively or did you find a way of remotely triggering it e.g. scripting a psexec cmd.exe running as admin user remotely?

Hi I'm trying to silently install ASIO4ALL as part of a PSAppDeploytoolkit wrapper script to install Pro Tool 12.6 which will go out via SCCM hopefully. I'm not having much luck finding an option for the silent install of ASIO4ALL. Running the installer with /? doesn't give any answers. Has anybody else managed to silently install this software and if so how did you do it? Peace, love and MACHINE empathy Da'flibble

Hi JScott did you have the same issue scripting a silent install? Did you find a solution? I've just gone with manually running our wrapper script as an admin on each computer which got it done. But long term I'd still like to find a solution to why their installer won't work silently installing when running under the system user context. The ability to push software remotely and do unattended installs is a great time saver. Over on spiceworks a helpful person looked at this for me and suggested I use the setup.exe /a admin install option to extact the package and install that way. I've not had time to fully test it installs all the fonts etc. when done this way. Cheers

So how is everyone else finding packaging Sibelius 8? I've been having nightmare trying to get it working with PSAppDeployToolkit providing a handy wrapper script to help fix some of the install issues. Works great except the following: 1. Avid Application Manager doesn't work behind proxy servers and causes death by Eclipse-Jetty webapp temporary files in versions 2.5.8 and 2.5.9. This seems to be better in a beta version of 2.5.10 Avid support provided. When I say death by temporary files I mean it generates temporary files it's doesn't clean up every 4 mins until there is not space on the system drive anymore. I think Avid need to employ better programmers for their value reducing junkware. 2. Sibelius now comes with a handy instructions for silent network installs. wwwwoooohooo yeah great.... but it doesn't work when run under the "nt authority\system" context. A bad installer chain jumping between 32bit and 64bit locations it seeams. So no SCCM deployment for me just yet. 3. Oh yeah that Avid Application Manager I mentioned earlier... it's totally unrequired. I recommend uninstalling it as soon as you've finished installing the rest. I'd love to know if anybody is having better luck with packing this software for network deployment.

Hi dooley_do how are you deleting the local profiles after logoff? I'm looking through options on how best to do this moving over to UEV. Roaming profiles and mandatory roaming profiles have been causing me too many headaches recently.
