Install Air App for All Users

Does air have an option to install the app across all users , not jus the current user?

It would seem like that article ''should'' solve the problem, but it doesn't seem to have had any effect. I extracted the contents of the .xpi file into the browsers\extensions folder using the extension ID, yet that doesn't seem to have done anything. I ran firefox after copying the uncompressed files with an administrator account with no luck. Any thoughts?

Sideloading metro apps for all users

I am having problems with my sideloaded metro app…… Doesn’t seem to work anymore on any of my machines.
For the first few months, I originally installed my Metro app by first installing the app’s signed certificate to the local machine root store (All OK), then running the following command logged on as the actual user I wanted the app run
under.
Add-AppxPackage
-Path "MyMetroApp.appx"
-ForceApplicationShutdown
While this method sort of worked, it had two problems:
I needed to manually renew the developer licence every 30 days running
Show-WindowsDeveloperLicenseRegistration
and I had to do this logged on as the user on the actual console, couldn’t to this using remote PowerShell.
I want to install the app properly for all users without needing to keep renewing the developer license. I have now run the following to install the app for all users:
#Allow Trusted Apps
New-Item
-Path "HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Appx"
New-ItemProperty
-Path "HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Appx"
-Name AllowAllTrustedApps
-PropertyType DWord
-Value 1
#Install the app for all users
Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage
-Online -PackagePath
"MyMetroApp.appx"
-SkipLicense
This method – even though it seemed to complete successfully, a couple of issues:
there’s no shortcut added to the start screen on one of my machines, so I can’t open the app
I am getting a message popup upon opening my app “The app can’t open: There's a problem with {app name}. Contact your system administrator about repairing or reinstalling it. [Close].” on another machine
Can someone please point me in right direction to get my app working again? I don’t think it’s anything major, I think I’m on the right track.

The main steps are detailed here:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852635.aspx
It sounds like the app needs to be un-provisioned on your troublesome machine ?

Adding a domain user to the admin role within the local user management breaks all metro apps for all users!!

Hi,
I have posted this in another large thread under the "Windows 8 General" group but have not had any appropriate feedback from MS.
After hours of testing and working with other users I have managed to isolate a simple situation that breaks all metro ui applications within Windows 8 for all users on the machine. Here are my exact steps and notes.
Before continuing if you are running Avast then your solution may be to turn of the behaviour shield functionality as this also breaks metro apps. This is NOT the problem we are having!
I have performed 3 cleans installs after isolating the problem and am able to reproduce the issue every time using the same steps on two different machines.
First thing to say is that for us it has nothing to do with simply joining the domain, domain/group policies nor does it appear to have anything to do with the software we installed, the problem here is much more simple but the result is pretty terrible.
Here are my exact steps of what I did to reproduce our problem:
Complete format of HDD in preperation for a clean install
Clean install performed
Set up the machine initially with a local account
Test metro apps - all working fine
Open control panel from the desktop, click on System, change the system to join the domain, click reboot
Log into the system using my domain account
Test metro apps - all working fine
Here's were the problem starts. I need my domain account to have admin rights on the local machine so I can install programs without the IT men having to come over and enter their password every 5 mins.
I go to control panel via the desktop and click on User Accounts. From with here I then click on "Manage User Accounts". This requires the IT guys to enter their details to give me access to such functionality. This is fine
In the dialog box that opens I can only see the local user that was initially created during setup. The "Group" for this local account shows as "Administrators" - Image included below (important to note that metro apps are working at this point)
I click add and then add my domain account - also giving it administrator access
Sign off or reboot to ensure the new security is applied
Sign back in to the domain account
Test metro - ALL BROKEN
Sign out
Sign in as local account
Test Metro - NOW ALL BROKEN FOR THIS USER ALSO
So as soon as I add my domain account to the local user accounts and set it as admin it breaks all metro apps for all users. This is on a totally clean install with nothing at all installed other than the OS.
Annoyingly if I go back and change the domain account to a standard user or if I totally remove the domain account from the local account management system the problem does not go away for either user. basically it is now permanently broken. The only fix I
could fathom was a full re install and not giving the domain user admin access to the local machine.
Screen one - this is the local user accounts window AFTER joining the domain and logging in with my domain account (All metro apps working at this point)
Screen 2: User accounts AFTER joining the domain and AFTER adding domain account to local user management (METRO BROKEN)
I have isolated my machine from all group policies so nothing like that is affecting me. Users I have spoken to in different companies have policies that automatically add users to the local user management. This means that metro apps break as
soon as they join the domain which leads them to wrongly think it is group policies causing the error. Once they isolate themselves from this they can reproduce following my steps.
Thanks

Hi Juke,
Thank you for the response and apologies for the delay in getting back to you. My machine was running a long task so I couldn't try your suggested solution.
I had already tried running the registry merge suggested at the top of the thread to no avail. I had not tried deleting the OLE key totally so I did that and the problem still exists. I will post all the errors I see in event viewer below. For
your info, since posting my initial comment I have sent out my steps to 7 different people and we can all reproduce the problem. This comes to 10 different machines (3 of them mine then the other guys) in 3 different businesses / domains. We see the same errors
in event viewer.
Under "Windows Logs" --> "Application" : I get two separate error events the first reads "Activation of app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store failed with error: The app didn't start. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional
information." The second arrives in the log about 15 seconds after the first and reads "App winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store did not launch within its allotted time."
Under "Windows Logs" --> "System" : I get one error that reads "The server Windows.Store did not register with DCOM within the required timeout."
Under "Applications And Services Logs" --> "Microsoft" --> "Windows" --> "Apps" --> "Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational" : I get one error that reads "Activation of the app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store for the
Windows.Launch contract failed with error: The app didn't start."
If you require any further information just let me know and I will provide as much as I can.
Thanks

Any way to remove all "apps" for all users?`

I get that the new start menu is a compromise, and it's neat that it's "back."
What I'm not clear on, is if it's possible to remove/hide the "apps" for all users.
I'm not keen on having all users have all of these, especially in a corporate environment.
Would be preferable to have none, except for perhaps what's "allowed" by admins.
Standard office users, power users, devs, artists, accountants, most folks at work simply don't have a use for most of these apps. I also don't want bandwidth constantly being used by any of the live tiles. If a user wants to know the weather, they can go to
weather.com. If they want news, this is also available via any number of sites.
The other compromise of having apps "windowed" is also nice, but for an office environment, I just don't see people firing up a sandboxed calculator app (or, any of the other built-in ones).
Sorry, but honestly, I'd honestly just like to know if it's possible to set up a GPO, or use some other method to get the "apps" out of the way of the "standard office user."

Hi techresource0,
Use export-startlayout cmdlet to export the start menu configuration first:
Export-StartLayout

Windows 10 Technical Preview has a new policy under start menu and taskbar:
Meanwhile, I have two thoughts on this if you are planning your environment:
One: a customized image.
Two: customize default profile.
For the first thought, you can uninstall all provisioned windows store app and then deploy this image to your environment. Of course, you can do this in an online system as well.

For second thought, you may prepare default profile, it would always copy to new created user profile:

How to provision an app for all users with all dependencies?

I have created an app package with VS that I want to provision for all users of a target system using
DISM /Online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /FolderPath:".\%package%" /SkipLicense
The path contains the content of the *Test folders VS creates when creating store packages. However DISM expects a ".main" file in this folder to work (0xc1570102).
What's the correct way to provision an app with all its dependency packages? (Using the PackagePath option?)

After some further testing in Profile Manager I found that adding the applescript to items that open at logon seems to work. No need for the plist, unless of course I decide not to use Profile Manager at all.

Install Add-ons for All Users

Salutations!
I'm looking for a solution to install an add-on for all users. Specifically, we're using the Symantec PKI client (https://knowledge.verisign.com/support/mpki-support/index?page=content&id=SO27063&actp=search&viewlocale=en_US). The current version, as seen in the support page, has to be installed manually. the problem is, every time new user logs into the system with the latest version of the PKI client installed, this webpage will pop up, annoying users. As a workaround to this issue, I'm looking to install the add-on linked in on the support page and have it enabled for all users by default.
I followed this article's chosen solution, but it does not appear to have installed the add-on: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/966922
Any assistance would be appreciated! The version of firefox that I attempted the solution in was version 35.0.1, but most of our systems are running in the ESR channel, version 31.4.0.
Cheers,
Moose
P.S. I've added the troubleshooting information, but my workstation is fairly unique, so I'm not sure if it'll be very applicable to most of the systems in our environment.

It would seem like that article ''should'' solve the problem, but it doesn't seem to have had any effect. I extracted the contents of the .xpi file into the browsers\extensions folder using the extension ID, yet that doesn't seem to have done anything. I ran firefox after copying the uncompressed files with an administrator account with no luck. Any thoughts?

How to install an extension for "all users"

I want to install a quantity of extensions for ALL users of FF on a PC running XP. There used to be a way of doing this but I have forgotten the method.
I know to save the .xpi file for each extension, and that there is some folder in a common area where these files are placed so that each User gets them installed the next time they run FF

Install security updates for all users

I am using the a form with digital signatures fields, and when a user logs onto a pc and opens the form Adobe asks if you would like to install new security settings. I tell my user to click yes, but there are multiple users on multiple PCs that will be using this form. Is there a way to install this same setting for all users? I am using Adobe reader 9.3, and the form was deisgned with Designer. Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks!

JWS installed client application for all users on one PC

For a PC (or Mac), Can one install a client application using Java Web Start & JNLP for all users on
that particular machine? If so, how do you do it?
thanks,

This is a new feature in the 1.5 version of Java Web Start (seperate system cache) see:

Can I install Phone designer for all user?

Hi
I have phone designer application I install it on my PC but when I install it for anther user and give me error Unable to connected to server.
Is there any parameters needs to check on CUCM?
How many times can I install it?
Thanks
Kaff

You can install it as many times as you want. Ensure that either the cluster-wide parameter or the device-specific parameter is set to allow phone personalization. After that, if it works for you it will work in general; don't forget to enter the CCMCIP server address in the client.

Problems installing flash player for all users on a computer (domain)

Hi all,
I've had a quick search but have unfortunately not found any answers.
I've just setup a new image using WDS to install 55 new Dell computers. Flash player was installed as part of this image, the problem i'm getting is that if I log in as a domain administrator I can run flash fine with no problems, however if I log in as a domain user, and try to visit any site that requires flash, i can't seem to view any flash content.
When logged in as the domain user and navigate to control panel I can see the "Flash player settings" option and when I view installed software I an see that flash player 11 is installed.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be? - Do you require admin rights to view flash files?
Any help would be extremely grateful!
Thanks.
Matt

It might be a permission problem in the Flash Player install folder. Try a clean install on the original machine.
If that does not resolve your problem, can you tell what Windows version & edition you are using?
Also check the permissions of all files in
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
C:\Windows\Syswow64\Macromed\Flash

Installing Default Printer For All Users on Windows 7 Client PCs.

The printers are shared on a Windows Server 2012 and I need a way to install them on Windows 7 clients PCs. I have tried using :
RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL, PrintUIEntry but the results were unreliable.
1. Is there a way to install a network printer shared on a Windows Server 2012 while logged on to the local Windows 7 PC domain as administrator?
2. What other methods would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi，
You can deploy the printer via GPP, make some configuratiosn for the printers, set this printer as default printer, then link the GPO to related OU or group which contains the user accounts that you want this printer available. after that, run
gpupdate /force to update the policy, you will see printer listed on your client.

Sideloading app on 8.1 for all users

I want to sideload a windows 8.1 app for all users on a surface tablet. What I was originally doing was running a powershell script as part of a MSI to sideload an app using the
Add-AppxPackage command. I have found out that I actually need to install the windows app for all users and from googling, it looks like
Add-AppxProvisionedPackage is what I am looking for. However, it seems that this command is designed to modify a windows image or modify the Online (current install) to have this app when
a new user is created as the documentation for -PackagePath reads "This package will be added for every new user account." I want the install to add the app to all current users on the machine and to allow new users to have this app as well that
log into the machine. How can I do this?

Hi,
According to the article below, the command Add-AppxProvisionedPackage should be work to sideload store app to all user.

Sideload the app for all users
DISM is a command-line tool that you can use to service a Windows image—online or offline. (If you are not familiar with DISM, see Deployment Image Servicing and Management Technical Reference.) You can use DISM to provision a Windows Store app in an online
Windows image for all users who share the computer. To do that, you use the Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage option:
Log on to contoso-pc using an account with administrative privileges on the computer. You must use an administrator account here, because you are provisioning an app in the image.
On the Start screen, type PowerShell and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
On the User Account Control dialog box, click Yes.
At the Windows PowerShell prompt, run the following command, where SampleApp is the path and file name of the package file you created (for example, MySample_1.0.0.0_AnyCPU_Debug.appx):
DISM /Online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:“SampleApp” /skiplicense
Monitor the installation, and close the Windows PowerShell window after it finishes.
To test this example, you need to log onto to the computer using one of your test accounts. You cannot run the app by using the built-in local or domain Administrator account. In this case, we logged on to the computer as Mark. Then, on the Start screen, click
the app to run it. (If you do not see the app on the Start screen, type the app’s name to find it, and then click the app’s tile.) After verifying that the app works for the current user account, log onto the computer using a different test account and run
the app. Because you used DISM to provision the app in the image, it is available to both accounts.

Is there an easy way to add a desktop shortcut for all users?

Looking for an easy way to add a shortcut to an app for all users.

William is correct. There are global system settings, and then there are personal user settings. Adding a shortcut to the desktop, or more commonly the Dock is a personal setting.
Unless its in some kind of mass deployment scenario where you can create a pre programed image for large amounts of computers which has it already has your app shortcut setup, its easier to just do it one user at a time.
