System-wide installation

Hi,

Does a system-wide installation method for the 3CX Desktop App is a subject that the development team is working on ?
A lot of forum threads have been already opened about this, because this is a serious missing functionnality for most partners and IT MSP.

I klnow that the IT teams of our customers are really annoyed when they ask for the deployment steps of the softphone and we have to answer that it has to be installed in the user profile manually by their users.

The current deployment is good for tiny to small businesses without any IT dept. But 3CX can also be a great PBX for bigger customers, and they all need mature deployments processes for the app they provide to their users.

Thanks for the link @ConceptsWeb. Sorry I wasn't more clear, I tested this solution a few days ago but put it aside because it looked like we had no way to disable the app automatically starting with SYSTEM rights.

But after a second look, I see now that we can delete this registry key to disable this function.

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\3CXDesktopApp

Without this key, the user can start the app manually which make it start with its own rights.
