Request for "All Users" or System-Wide Installation on Windows

Feature archive

Use case or problem

Problem / current behavior : On machines running Windows there is no option to Install Obsidian for ALL users or “system-wide” at this time.

Use case: At an enterprise level, System Administrators may be required to manage Obsidian installations where users are restricted from installing applications.

Proposed solution

A proposed solution would be to add support for the switch {ALLUSERS=1} or equivalent.

In our use case, we would like to update the installation of Obsidian on a single computer for all users that may utilize the program, without rerunning the installer/upgrade on an individual user basis.

Current workaround (optional)

We don’t have a workaround at this time. Affected users are notified to upgrade on an individual basis.

Agreed. With regular updates, it becomes inconvenient for each user to update the app. System-wide install would solve this nicely.

Windows users can download the “allusers.exe” for each release.
