- Teams machine wide installer location



   

Existing user profiles will receive Teams on their next login as well. Microsoft is leveraging a Run Key in order to execute a command line every time a user logs in. This key can be seen below. The command found in the registry has a -checkInstall parameter. If you run this binary without the -checkInstall parameter you can see it will perform a Teams installation every time, instead of only when not found. Alright alright, this is boring.

How do we improve the user experience where Microsoft has failed? As much as I would enjoy writing an essay about how frustrating it is to see many norms of software installation be violated by Microsoft that is not what we are here for! We care about the users. Unfortunately this is not the software which the user cares about.

This result is achieved by using a Windows Scheduled Task. When a user logs into the machine, this Run key will execute, installing Microsoft Teams into the per-user profile location. From that point the per-user instance of Teams should automatically update itself. The Teams Machine-Wide Installer does not update itself, so the installer present on a given machine will generally remain at the version first installed.

Since this is just used to initially install Teams, and then the per-user profile instance of Teams will automatically update itself, this is generally not an issue, except in the case of shared computers where new users are logging into them frequently.

Even if the Teams Machine-Wide Installer is updated, it will normally not affect the per-user instance of Teams installed into a user's profile. The next time the user signs into Windows and the TeamsMachineInstaller Run key is executed, with AllowMsiOverride set to 1, it will check if a newer version of Teams is available from the Teams Machine-Wide Installer and install it into the per-user profile instance.
