What's New

Machine-Wide Installs via MSI (#466)

Squirrel's Releasify command now generates an MSI file suitable for installation via Group Policy. This MSI isn't a general-purpose installer, it is designed to mimic the behavior of --machine (#337 for the lazy) - this means that once you run the MSI, users from now on will get the app installed, on next Login.

So, most normal users should continue to run the Setup.exe's generated by Releasify, but if you want to have an IT Admin Friendly version, you can hand off the MSI

Most users of Squirrel won't have to do anything new to enable this behavior, though certain NuGet package IDs / names might cause problems with MSI. Generating MSIs can be disabled via the --no-msi flag.

Bug Fixes

  • Fix a bug where if users managed to run install as an elevated UAC user, Update.exe would be missing (#386)
