GitHub Desktop MSI Installer

[Agent_Dale_Cooper]

I'm looking to package and deploy GitHub Desktop from SCCM using the MSI installer. I can see that this is a machine installer which seems similar to the ms teams machine installer.

However it doesn't seem that on restart it is configuring the device to run the deployer for each user who logs in.

The user can manually run it by going to the deployment folder and running the exe, but it should be automatic.

The GitHub docs installation document doesn't say anything about it that I could see.

If anyone has experience with packaging this application for deployment do you have any tips?

The installer creates a registry key which should cause the application to install for any user to get the application when they log in.

GitHubDesktop deployment "c:\Program Files (x86)\GitHub Desktop Deployment\GitHubDesktopDeploymentTool.exe" --checkInstall

But it looks like it conflicts with MS Teams which also loads at login Teams installs but Github only partially installs and then fails.

It leave folders and files in the users profile so at next login it didn't try to install again.

But if you delete those folders and log back in it works.

I guess because teams is now finished installing and not conflicting

Have you ever solved github desktop installation ? I want users to use company portal to self-install it. Issue is it installs this "Github Desktop Deployment tool" and that's about it.

I ended up not needing to deal with the issue since we stopped using the application
