Hi All, Is there a way to install a Vision Client Launcher application to all users? As of now all of my operators have to log in first, connect to the gateway, select a project, and download it when they first log in. Thank you! ---

One thing you could try is to install the Vision Client Launcher for all users (there is a prompt when running the installer that will, with admin permissions, install under _Program Files_). You’ll find a desktop shortcut under `C:\Users\Public\Desktop` that is shared by all users. You can then create a “common” folder for use by the client launcher with all users. See the screenshot below: ![2021-10-12 at 9.48 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/8/6865732a99e630399a8cf55cabce2db354f86fc1.jpeg) There are a few things going on here, so I’ll attempt to share a bit of sequencing for you: 1. Vision Client Launcher has been installed for all users. 2. A `clientlauncher-data` folder has been created and permissions setup so all users can read/write to it. In the example I placed it at `C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Vision Client Launcher\clientlauncher-data` so that I could use a relative path in the shortcut settings that follow. 3. Adjust the properties on the _Vision Client Launcher_ shared shortcut (under `C:\Users\Public\Desktop`) to have a `-Dapp.home=clientlauncher-data` property that points the Vision Client Launcher to use that folder as its configuration store. 4. Launch that _Vision Client Launcher_ shortcut and configure a Vision application target. You’ll notice that (assuming your permissions settings on that shared folder are correct) there will be a few files in that `clientlauncher-data` folder now. Right-click the application in _Vision Client Launcher_ and “Create Shortcut”. The shortcut will be created with the same `app.home` property as the parent launcher. 5. Move the shortcut from your Desktop to the `C:\Users\Public\Desktop` folder to share the shortcut across all users. Obviously, with this approach, the configuration is indeed shared, so a change via one user will affect the presented applications for other users. You can also create an additional shortcut for yourself (not in the shared desktop folder) and set `-Dapp.home="%USERPROFILE%\.ignition\clientlauncher-data"` to use a user-local configuration for your own uses. Hope this helps! ---

Hello, I am stuck at step 3 in this one. I tried 2 path **"C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Vision Client Launcher\visionclientlauncher.exe"-Dapp.home=clientlauncher-data** and **"C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Vision Client Launcher\visionclientlauncher.exe"-Dapp.home=C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Vision Client Launcher\clientlauncher-data** Let me know what am I doing wrong, My purpose is to have single launcher application for all users on that PC without needing them to add application by going into vision launcher. ---

Looks like you might be missing a space between the executable and `-Dapp.home=....`. ---

Thank you for noticing. That was the exact issue. 🙂
