Use Windows Username as RDMS-User (MSI Install)
Hi guys,
we deploy Remote Desktop Manager through MSI (custom installer). Is it possible to use a variable in the data source configuration and create a RDI so that the username of the windows user that starts the application is automatically set as RDMS-Login Username at first start? Right now every user has to change the Username after installation in the data source settings which annoys some of the users, it would be perfect if we could automate this step. I tried it with $USERNAME$ and %USERNAME% but no success.
Attached you will find a screenshot of the filed i want to autofil.
Best regards,
Hermann

Hello,
The rdi contains your preferred settings, as well as any data source that you decide to include in the deployment.
That datasource must be configured with environment variables. Is this what you have attempted?
There are a lot of content in this
Installation > Client > Custom Installer Service > Installer File Generation > Option Selection Dialog
but no example for the variables, I will get this added.
I have found this in another topic that may help

Hi Maurice,
