Central rollout of Software on Windows PCs

[irockel]

Hi,

I'm currently supporting the school of my daughter to use the software on a bunch of windows laptops. But the support company maintaining the laptops says they cannot install the ScratchJr centrally because it only installs to the AppData/local directory of the currently logged in user.

Is it possible to modify this easily to install the software somewhere below "Program Files" and use the local directory of the user for storing project files, images, sounds etc.? Maybe just some hints and I will happily try it myself and provide a pull request if feasible.

Best,

Ingo

Hmm. I will ask the installer folks if this is possible or what I can do instead...

Thanks! Just a note: I copied over everything manually to Program Files yesterday and this worked. I asked to support company if this is a possible workaround for them.

Just another Update: the support company did a rollout and starting ScratchJr failed with the following error:

electron compilers not found but were requested to be loaded

So the work around did not work after all.
