System installer for Windows

Discussion
1

Hi all,

is there a system installer for Windows available (or a clean way to make it available to all users)? When I install cursor on a Windows computer, it does not ask me whether I want to install it only for the current user or for all users. Even if I run the setup file as an administrator, all the files are located at c:\Users.… → C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Programs\cursor
So the other Windows users don’t have access.

There is a system installer available for VS Code but I haven’t found anything similar for Cursor:

Thanks,

Thomas

According to this repo there are system installers for each version

the repo appears to be a legit archive of installers, but I’m not in the habit of downloading files from non-official sources so DYOR

I also have an issue with my install where it won’t allow auto-updates because it was installed as an Administrator even though I ran the user scope install

Here is a more legit way.
Head to the official link: cursor.com/api/download?platform=win32-x64&releaseTrack=stable this will display JSON that includes the link to the system installer.

FYI, I got the above link by using dev tools on Downloads | Cursor - The AI Code Editor and removing the “-user” from the download URL.

I’d open this as a feature request. IMO this should be included in the downloads page, since the installer clearly exists already.
