    Folks,

    I'm working with GUI-11 and all is fine. However I'd like to have the
    default GUI configuration for my users be silent (i.e.not have the
    status log window open up with the password dialog)


    I realize there is the silent_connect registry entry that is in
    the HKCU
    registry hive and If I write to this it works, when the installer is
    also the admin account (i.e. most home user cases).


This option is meant to be set by the user from the settings
menu. That's why its in HKCU.

I have low priority TODO item to have some of these options in HKLM as
well as a default that users can override. Not yet implemented.

Some options you have are:
(i) Add --silent_connection 1 as an option to the GUI shortcut. This shortcut
is common for all users (in Users\Public\Publc Desktop on Windows 10).

(ii) Use Active Setup to add the required registry entry in HKCU when
the user logs in the next time. I do not recommend this as we want the
flexibility for changing these entries in future releases, if required. So
treat it as a place where the GUI persists user's settings to be changed
only via the UI.

Also, (i) is easier to do.

Selva


Thanks Selva,

I had already looked at the Active Setup thing based upon hints your existing NSIS installer. I agree for my purposes (i) will suffice...


Thank you


Colin
