Starting with version 3.4.0, the correct name will be displayed in Apps and Features. The missing name change in the package was an oversight. The per-user deployment MSI was named machine-wide installer before our current true machine-wide installer was released. Why does it show up as a machine-wide installer in Apps and Features? We have installed the per-user deployment MSI. While the latter installation path is very rare, its presence would affect all users on the system. Specifically, it looks for either of these folders: %APPDATA%\slack or %PROGRAMDATA%\slack. If the deployment tool detects traces of previous installations, it will back out. The Slack deployment tool will only install Slack if it has not been previously installed by the user. Why does Slack not install for some or all users on certain machines? We realised that this was confusing, so starting with version 3.4.0, both MSI tools will install 64-bit packages. However, their payload (Slack for Windows) is 64-bit. Up to version 3.3.8 of Slack’s desktop app, the MSI packages were compiled in 32-bit. We have installed the 64-bit version of the MSI, but program files and registry entries were written to the 32-bit locations on our 64-bit system.
Make sure that you adjust the version number to the version that you’re installing. You’ll want to use something like: msiexec /i "slack-standalone-.msi" INSTALLLEVEL=2 /qn /norestart. How do we do that?īy default, MSI-deployed apps won’t launch on startup, but you can set this up by adding INSTALLLEVEL to your install command line. 💡 Learn how to add RSS feeds to your Slack workflow. In order to stay current with new Slack releases, we have provided an RSS feed to notify you of new Windows Slack Desktop App updates. When installed using the machine-wide installer, Slack does not auto-update.
It is important to stay up to date on new releases, as they provide users with valuable features and fixes. The Slack app icon will appear on the Start menu.
