Change install path while doing silent install

[xxolaz]

I was wondering if there is a solution to change the install path directory while silently installing, I have tried most parameters for other exe, but was wondering if there is specific ones for NVM or if there isn't yet. We are having a problem where when we install through Group Policy is going to C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\nvm and this can mess with UAC Permissions, when it also gets installed here the settings.txt file can't be loaded by NVM in cmd. Any information would be appreciated.

The primary installer is not setup to create silent installations with parameters. It may work, but I haven't tested it. We're addressing this in Runtime, likely using a GPO-friendly MSI instead of an exe.

The current solution is to roll your own installer. The manual installation guide walks through the setup, which is pretty simple as far as app installations go. Most organizations deploying this through AD are creating a package and setting the NVM_HOME environment variable to whatever directory they deploy to.

AD rollouts and generalized enterprise support are not a goal for NVM4W, but they are for Runtime... which we are now working on full-time. If you or anyone else reading this thread are interested in discussing enterprise challenges like this, I'm all ears while we roll out Runtime. I can provide access to a private channel for this type of conversation.
