Describe the enhancement you want to request

Hello,

I am one of the maintainers of the opencode-desktop package, available soon on Chocolatey.

While packaging OpenCode Desktop for Windows, I noticed that the current Windows installer only supports per-user installations.
This limitation makes it difficult to deploy the application in managed or enterprise environments, where a system-wide installation (for all users) is often required.

Current limitations

  • The installer installs the application only for the current user.
  • There is no option to install OpenCode Desktop system-wide (e.g. under Program Files).
  • Silent installation does not expose any parameter to control the installation scope (per-user vs system-wide).

Requested enhancements

It would be very helpful if the Windows installer could be updated to support:

  1. System-wide installation for all users.
  2. A silent installation parameter (command-line switch) allowing explicit selection of a system-wide installation mode.

For example:

opencode-desktop-setup.exe /S /ALLUSERS=1

or any equivalent mechanism commonly used on Windows installers (NSIS, MSI, etc.).

Benefits

  • Enables proper packaging for Chocolatey and other Windows package managers.
  • Facilitates deployment in enterprise, education, and shared-machine environments.
  • Aligns OpenCode Desktop with standard Windows application installation practices.

Thank you for your work on OpenCode Desktop, and for considering this request.

Best regards
