Installing app that lives inside %Appdata%

I'm trying to install the Bluejeans video desktop app for my end users, however I recently found out that the installation destination lives inside the logged in end users %appdata% folder.

How can i push these installations with PDQDeploy Enterprise Mode?

Thanks.

Is the installer an EXE or MSI?

It is a .MSI installer.

By default PDQ uses the "ALLUSERS=1" parameter with MSIs. This should cause it to install for all users instead of just the deployment user.

yes, the ALLUSERS=1 is set, but when pushing the installation it fails, since the installer pushes the actually installation path to %appdata%\Local.

Is there a way to push the instillation without using the default credentials that is associated with the PDQ Deploy?

I used Bluejeans for a while in a previous life. Still hate the parrot to this day.

This will help:

Anything to help my friend. I've been in your shoes, back before I knew what PDQ Deploy was and how much easier doing this COULD have been!
