Hello, I've performed a silent install on 100+ computers for Visual Micro (1404.01) with the following command:

msiexec /i ArduinoForVisualStudio.msi /qn

It did install the product, it is listed in Add/Remove Programs, but it does not appear anywhere when loading Atmel Studio v6.2.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks for the help.

I can see .ino at the end: "ExtSourceAvr"=".c;.cpp;.cc;.cxx;.tli;.pde;.ino;"

After further investigation, I found out that Visual Micro is integrated perfectly when running Atmel Studio under the account used to install Visual Micro.

When using another account, there's nothing in Atmel!

There's no ExtSourceAvr entry in the registry under the other account.

Edit: sorry for the confusion, there is in fact a ExtSourceAvr entry under both accounts, but no .ino in the defective one.

You're right, it just doesn't install for all accounts, even with explicit parameters in the command like:
msiexec /i ArduinoForVisualStudio.msi ALLUSERS=1 /qn
or msiexec /i ArduinoForVisualStudio.msi ALLUSERS=2 /qn

The only way I can think of right now is to perform an install (or repair) in a login script each time a user logs in, which is kind of odd 

I would greatly appreciate if you could find a solution )

Did you by any chance had the opportunity to look into it?
Thank you very much for the support 

Hi,

Sorry for the delay I had to send the question to the Atmel dev team.

They have answered by saying that their installer does not create the registry keys. Instead they are created when their application is launched. This explains a few things!

This is a problem for Visual Micro (Plugins) but they have offered to include our keys in their future install/loader program.

In the meantime they suggest installing for one user, then exporting the HKCU/Software/Atmel registry key to a .reg file and applying that when users logon.

I also suggest you do the same with the HKCU/Software/Visual Micro key.

I hope the .reg solution is an easy way for you to work?

Thanks
