[FEATURE]: (opencode-desktop) Support system-wide installation and system-wide silent install on Windows #9995
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
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:
- System-wide installation for all users.
- 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

I run separate work and non-work accounts, which would currently require me to install OpenCode twice on the same machine (taking up double the space), and also try to keep the configuration files synced between the two accounts.
I ended up replacing the installation and config folders with symlinks to one common directory, so both accounts can launch it and get the same configuration. That does work for now but its annoying.

MSI feature was rejected, that's fine. I'm more interested in a system wide installer. I don't care what the delivery mechanism is.
