Has anyone figured out how to install this from SCCM and using PSADT (typical deployment tool and setup) and have it not install in local user folders? The MSI and the EXE behave the same when deployed, doesn't matter how you run them, manually, as System, as Admin and as the User. Can we get an updated MSI OR EXE that is equipped for software deployments in enterprise environments? (Again, this isn't an unheard of scenario), Otherwise, can we get an official, 'Hey this will never work if you want to deploy it in an large professional environment from a modern deployment tool, like SCCM, and with enterprise software standards in place, where software has to be managed for a plethora of good reasons, and where user's can't be interrupted or be given admin rights. Thanks!
