I would like to know if others have encountered difficulties when deploying Arduino IDE 2.3.4 in a school environment. We aim to deploy it on more than 100 machines intended for our students. Therefore, we need a solution to package the installation and facilitate remote deployment.
In the previous version (1.8.9), we could directly integrate the necessary certificates for installing drivers and additional boards into the package. However, this method seems no longer applicable with version 2.0.
We would like to perform this deployment in silent mode, including the required drivers. For the silent installation of MSI files, it worked via PowerShell with the command: Execute-MSI -Action Install -Path "arduino-ide_2.3.4_Windows_64bit.msi" -Parameters "ALLUSERS=1 /QN /NORESTART". However, the equivalent /S for the executable arduino-2.3.4-windows.exe is not functional.
The problem now is that the UAC prompt appears when a user launches the Arduino IDE, requesting admin rights to install the drivers (it uses dpinst-amd64.exe). I am looking for a way to configure the Arduino IDE so that the drivers are not installed when the user launches the application.
Thanks in advance!
Cross-posting is against the Arduino forum rules. The reason is that duplicate posts can waste the time of the people trying to help. Someone might spend a lot of time investigating and writing a detailed answer on one topic, without knowing that someone else already did the same in the other topic.
Please create one topic only for your question and choose the forum category carefully. If you have multiple questions about the same project then please ask your questions in the one topic as the answers to one question provide useful context for the others, and also you won’t have to keep explaining your project repeatedly.
Repeated duplicate posting could result in a temporary or permanent ban from the forum.
