How to Automatically Set Different User Defaults during/after automated Installation

Hello,

I'm trying to package and roll-out Workrave 1.9.1 for Windows via an
automated software deployment.  I want to start every user off with a
set of timer values that are different from the default settings
provided.

I found the registry keys stored in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Workrave\ and tried to load these new key
values as part of the deployment.  Unfortunately, the installation is
performed by a dedicated installer (administrator) account, and not
through the account of the end user.  So when the registry keys are
written, they are written to HKEY_CURRENT_USER for the installer
(administrator) account.  HKEY_CURRENT_USER for the end user can't be
accessed by the installer, so Workrave creates the keys with default
timer values.

Is there any way to have the Workrave installer use different defaults
when it creates the registry keys for CURRENT_USER?  Or is there some
other way to set a different default for user accounts?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Could you please try:

http://snapshots.workrave.org/20101205/workrave-win32-v1_9_2-62-g38d6df67e3-20101205-installer.exe

If this one still crashes: could you mail me the crash log (or attach it top 
bug http://issues.workrave.org/show_bug.cgi?id=938)

Thanks!

I recently changed the default way of activity monitoring in Workrave.
Could you please try a recent Workrave snapshot, e.g.:

http://snapshots.workrave.org/20101107/workrave-win32-v1_9_2-38-g0763dc8
b66-20101107-installer.exe

and check if this fixes the problem. Thanks.

Thanks Rob Caelers for including korean into workrave.

I was very pleased with this news, Wow!!! Korean get to use workrave in
your mother languages!!! 

But workrave does not work with
workrave-win32-v1_9_2-38-g0763dc8b66-20101107-
installer.exe.

I received exception error messages.

Of course, I uninstalled workrave 1.9.2 and installed workrave.

But I received message repeately.

Workrave1.9.2 stable version works well.

I reported this problems at http://issues.workrave.org.

I hope this problems to be fixed as soon as possible.

Thanks again for your interest.

Good luck to you !!!

this is one of the reasons i suggested "user profiles" as a necessary
feature to have in workrave.

This would be normal behaviour if reading mode was disabled. With 
reading mode enabled, this shouldn't happen.

I tried reproducing your problems. So far no luck (Workrave 1.9.3 / 
Windows XP).
