Need the browser independent HOD Launcher client to be globally deployable by an Admin without user's intervention.

The browser independent HOD Launcher client currently requires that a user perform some actions:
(1)
Download to the local system the hodlauncher.msi file
(2)
Click on run to install the HOD Launcher .
Although these are a one-time only activity, in our enterprise users do not have the privilege of / are not allowed to install anything on their assigned PCs. Most install tasks are performed globally and silently without users' intervention by the HOD Administrator.
Therefore HOD Launcher is not usable for us in its present offering. We need HOD Launcher to be globally distributed / deployed without users' intervention.

    Currently hodlauncher can be deployed by the admin with out user interaction.
    Its similar to any other app deployment.

    For example, in Windows, hodlauncher.msi is available in publish directory and same can be installed on any windows client machines.

    Administrators can take the appropriate launcher installer available in publish directory to push into any clients environment (os specific launcher needs to be installed).

    Example : in Windows

    Without UI: Msiexec /i hodlauncher.msi /qn /l*v install.log

    With basic UI: Msiexec /i hodlauncher.msi /qb! /l*v install.log

    One can follow windows documentation

    This RFE has been opened in relation to the following CASE that has been closed. This was the request/Issue:

    When Customer installs the HOD Launcher Client using a "STANDARD" installation way, the files will be created under the following path Directories: C --> Users > My context name > AppData > Local > IBM > Host On Demand Launcher.

    Customer is asking to change the STANDARD path and decide a new one, depending on the environment needs.

    The feature that is described in this request is a candidate for a future release.
    I understand this is of a high priority. I will prioritize this RFE during our monthly triaging and request engineering to take this up as soon as they can for feasibility analysis.
    But the RFE process does take some time to triage, prioritize, develop, and deliver.
