Can we get an MSI installer or installer switches for the exe so we can manage deployment of opencode desktop?

    if it's deemed this is a duplicate of #9995 then that issue should be reopened as it's outstanding

    This feature has been suggested before but is closed without explanation (#9995). The request is to support system-wide installation on Windows or provide a ZIP file. Also to stop the self-updater from moving the installation when it was manually installed.

    The reasoning is that many users (like myself) prefer to keep the operating system volume lean. Preferring to install programs on a separate volume such as an HDD since SSD and NVMe have limited write lifespans, or are limited in capacity.

    Thanks for the request, @nascentt! You'd like OpenCode Desktop on Windows to come as an MSI, or as an installer with switches, so it can be deployed and managed system-wide under Program Files.

    Right now Desktop is shipped only as a one-click NSIS .exe set to install per-user (into %LocalAppData%\Programs). There is no all-users or Program Files option and no MSI build. The maintainers will consider this.

    The earlier issues for this were closed for inactivity, not declined, so this one stays open to track it. Related issues:

    Pity. Guess the projects not interested in the corporate world, but that's a shame.
