No icon on desktop and not searchable #67

Closed Anitalex closed 4 years ago

Anitalex commented 5 years ago

This does not place an icon on the desktop and is not searchable on the start menu. You have to go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\Programs\Microsoft Corporation\ to get the shortcut and then place it on the public desktop

flcdrg commented 5 years ago

Can you confirm if this in relation to https://chocolatey.org/packages/microsoft-teams or https://chocolatey.org/packages/microsoft-teams.install?

Anitalex commented 5 years ago

It happened with both. I had to copy the executable to the public desktop and public start menu

Thanks,

It might be possible to add a desktop shortcut as part of the install script for the microsoft-teams package.

The MSI package (microsoft-teams.install) operates differently - it just puts the MSI in place so that when each user logs in to the machine, the installer then runs individually for them. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/msi-deployment#how-the-microsoft-teams-msi-package-works for more info.

Ok got it. I added lines to my script to copy the Microsoft Teams file in the C:\Windows\SysWoW64 ...... folder to public desktop and start menu so that should be good enough to have something for people to click. There's just no way users are going to find that file
