Squirrel install to APPDATA prevents SourceTree use in corporate environments

    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      The switch to the Squirrel installer and the installation into "c:\users\USERNAME\Appdata..." prevents us from using this in an enterprise environment. Our users can only run software installed in "c:\program files..."  Without the ability to install SourceTree into Program Files, we'll be unable to use the software.

            We now also provide an MSI installer https://confluence.atlassian.com/sourcetreekb/sourcetree-enterprise-and-msi-installation-947848769.html

            It provides the ability to select the installation location. However it is worth being aware that this installer expects Git and Mercurial to already be installed on your system, it will not install them itself.

            Thanks

            Hi we are currently beta testing an alternative MSI based installer for Enterprises.

            It will still require users to register, but it is possible to register against an instance of Bitbucket Server within a corporate network.

            You can trial this beta here: https://product-downloads.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/windows/beta/SourcetreeEnterpriseSetup_2.5.2-beta-0.msi
