Software Deployment

VLC stores its preferences in a set of files in "%Userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\VLC":
    ml.xspf,
    vlcqtinterface.ini
    vlcrc.

You'll need to create a method for deploying these. I built an MSI which includes setting up an ActiveSetup trigger to self-heal the installation. Remember that, to do that, the MSI will need to be either local or accessible to all users. The former is obviously easier to achieve if you have no control over share permissions, etc. I typically set up any package with an MSI which relies on self-healing to populate user-profile stuff so that the package gets copied to and persists in the local cache: storage is stupidly cheap nowadays.

I used an MSI authoring tool.

If your unfamiliar with MSI you can use group policy preferences to get the job done.

Ideally MSI though.
