Summary0006665: Silent installation and removal
DescriptionHello,

I've just tried installing Scribus silently preparing for deploying Scribus to a couple hundred workstations (windows machines in schools mostly) using the command line parameter /S (as this is a Nullsoft installer) but immediately faced a few problems.

1. The silent installation is issued by the System user on my workstations and after the installation is finished there is no starmenu entry for scribus. After looking around for a bit i found the startmenu folder in "C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Starmenu\Program Files\" instead of "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Startmenu\Program Files\". Could this behavior somehow be changed to actually install the startmenu entry into the "All Users" startmenu rather than into the startmenu of the user issuing the installation? For now I've written a little dos batch file to move the whole folder to the right directory but this cannot be the solution of the problem.

2. I've also tried removing Scribus from the workstation silently using "C:\Program Files\Scribus 1.3.3.11\uninst.exe /S" as the command which is supposed to remove the program without asking any questions. Sadly this didn't work and the uninstall progress is hanging somewhere in the background asking me if its ok to remove the folder and all the files within. Could this problem also be fixed with the next release of Scribus? That would be awesome.

I really hope the two problems stated above can be fixed with the next version of Scribus so I can deploy Scribus to all the workstations I maintain. Sadly this isn't possible at the moment.

If you need any more information on this matter, please say so and I'll do what I can. Thanks in advance.
