Update behavior
Hi,
I'd like to deploy blizz to a number of hosts. I already found this post https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/Blizz-Support/How-do-I-install-Blizz-for-all-users/td-p/32191
But now I wonder what happens if one user triggers an update. Will the update be installed to the installation directory of my choosing or will it install blizz unter %userprofile%\Appdata\Roaming\Blizz ?
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi @patrick15 ,
you are right, update will be installed to %userprofile%\Appdata\Roaming\Blizz
That is why /installdir option of installer should not be used. Unfortunately currently there is no good way to install Blizz for all users in the system.

So we simply installed Blizz into program files with the parameter Install DIr. Then we wrote a script that adjusts the permissions for the users on C:\Program Files (x86)\Blizz. And finally, a shortcut is created which also puts this on the desktop via script C:\Users\Public\Desktop.
Now all users can use Blizz and also update without installing the update in Appdata.0 -
For the acess rights we have used cacls.exe.
cacls.exe "%programfiles(x86)%\Blizz" /G YourLocalGroup:C /E /T
the shortcut was previously created manually and placed in a shared Folder on a server and copied from there to the public desktop with cp.
The scripts for the installation can then be easily installed via a software distribution, GPO or login script.0
