Hello,

With the last version of Microsoft Teams, i do not have a Desktop Shortcut with the command:
msiexec.exe /i Teams_windows_x64.msi OPTIONS="noAutoStart=true" ALLUSERS=1

With the old version i had a Desktop Shortcut.

Do you know why ?
I tried to include "NODESKTOPSHORTCUT=0" it doesn't work.
Maybe you have the solution…

Thank you.

    I'm also seeing this change in behaviour between the 1.4.x and 1.5.x installer. We're sticking with 1.4.x until Microsoft addresses the issue.

    Even with OPTIONS="noAutoStart=true" ALLUSERS=1" like their documentation shows, it is not creating a desktop shortcut.

    I have the same issue with the "Per-machine installation" installation in a VDI.
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/teams-for-vdi#teams-cached-content-exclusion-list-for-non-persistent-setup
    Following the above article, I have tired the installation several time without lock.
    Issues:

    1. Missing Teams icon on the Desktop
    2. Can't disable the Auto startup

    Per-machine installationi:
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Teams" /v IsWVDEnvironment /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
    "This process adds a required registry key to the machine that lets the Teams installer know it is a VDI instance. Without it, the installer will error out, stating: "Installation has failed. Cannot install for all users when a VDI environment is not detected."*

    msiexec /i “C:\Temp\Teams_windows_x64.msi” /l*v “C:\Temp\Teams.log” OPTIONS="noAutoStart=true" ALLUSER=1
    "The ALLUSERS=1 parameter can be used in non-VDI and VDI environments, while the ALLUSER=1 parameter is used only in VDI environments to specify a per-machine installation"
