Customized .MSIs and deployment via group policy

from Stardock Forums

Hi

 

We are interested in installing Start8 in our corporate environment for all Win8 desktops. We would like to keep a standardized look across our desktops so my question is twofold:

 

1. Will you be releasing the Start8 application as an .MSI so it can easily be deployed via Group Policy?

2. Will it be possible to lock down configuration options so we can deploy a standardized Start8 look to all desktops?

 

Lastly, and off topic, if you could add Right Click Computer - Show on Desktop option to the start menu in your next release that would be great.

 

Thanks

We are evaluating creating an MSI.  At the moment you can use the ADMX files in the sub-directory to assist in deployments

Hi

 

I see that v1.0 now supports group policy management/deployment. Is there an .ADMX file or similar to add the Start8 policies to the domain? Thankyou
