Anyone know if you can customize the installer so that the tray icon is hidden by default? Have the need for a very silent deploy.

You can write a plugin to the guest client that will prevent the icon from being shown. A file "Plugin.cs" with these contents can be compiled with csc.exe referencing Elsinore.ScreenConnect.*.dll.

Code:

public class GuestClientInitializer : Elsinore.ScreenConnect.IInitializeItem<GuestClient>
{
    public void InitializeItem(GuestClient guestClient)
    {
        guestClient.NotifyIcon.Visible = false;
    }
}


Getting it into the MSI is a bit trickier. You'll need to shove it into Elsinore.ScreenConnect.GuestClient.msi for it to be part of every installer. Here are some guides, though nothing looks like an easy fix:

It is something we would like to updates and make easier down the road. We are simply trying to find solutions that might work for users today. Brauscher, I will check with development to see if they have any ideas on recompiling for you.
