Calibre silent installation and configuration
Hi all,
trying to silently install and configure calibre. - Silent installation is easy thanks to the MSI - configuration to the json files under C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming to make it look/feel as desired is doable Two things im having trouble with - Is there a way to change to the default directory for configuration from <user profile>\appdata\roaming... i would like it to be machine rather than user-based. I haven't been able to find anything in the registry or MSI tables. Is this perhaps hard-coded ? - Based on the above - preventing the first run wizard for running. This seems to check for the existence of C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming - so i believe this is linked with the first question... but if someone else knows better - please let me know. |

Ok - cool, thanks a lot of that.
I didn't even consider environment variables - as its a unusual method to provide silent install config... but in this instance- makes sense. Will give it a crack. |
