I downloaded roon to my desktop, works fine in my account. When my wife logs in she cannot see or find the roon app ?
Also does not show in Programs files like every other win app.
There are zero options in the download. The exe lives in downloads directory, not program files like everything else.Cannot even see the exe from her account.
Can I move to \programs\x86 ??
Hmm, never looked before, but it’s installed in your User\Appdata so if your wife uses a different account she won’t see it.
Doesn’t seem like that would work (I’m wondering if Roon will interpret that as being two Cores}, but support will give the professional answer as to how to do what you and your wife want.
Only when it’s used as a Core. As @Julian_Higgins’ Core is a other installation, ROCK as per description, multiple installations of Roon under different Windows User Profiles shouldn’t be a problem – but I think it’s better you don’t try to run them simultaneously (local and remote; fast user switching).
Moving the installation to another location is not supported AFAIK.
PS: Installing programs in a users profile directory is a common practice to allow non-admin users (users with insufficient rights) to install a given software, but IDK if that was the reason for Roon Labs to choose this way. You already encountered the side-effects of doing so (other users can’t access the app, they need to install it again).
Since ROCK is the Core, you can go ahead and install Roon on your other account as well, it will be installed in the Users/AppData directory as @xxx noted.
Although you shouldn’t encounter issues running two remotes from the same PC, you still might want to exit out of Roon before switching accounts.
This is the correct reason we chose to do this, as well as being able to update the App without admin rights.
