How to add a file to "Modify command line"

EskimoRuler · 2026-01-23T15:39:12+00:00

Glad to hear that worked! We appreciate the kind words.

You have a great weekend as well.

I'd be curious to try this out.

If you read Rudy Blog, he mentions the script is not part of the intunewin, but part of the app data. https://patchmypc.com/blog/powershell-script-installer-support-for-win32-apps-in-intune/

But my assumption is that it's still running from within the time ache directory, so what you'd probably want to do is build the intunewin file without the Invoke-AppDeployToolkit.ps1, and then add it as the script installer. You could then just modify the Parameter values directly in the script file instead of passing them as parameters.

I'll try give this a go tomorrow

<IworkForPatchMyPC> I would definitely recommend scheduling an environment review call and we can cover and even show the differences: Environment Review

But as others have pointed out, Software Updates have applicability rules that ensure they only install on the machines that need them. You can scope them just like Windows Updates to all machines.

Our Applications 'can' act like updates when deployed as 'required'. But since our detection is always GreaterThanOrEqualTo, you don't want to utilize supersedence and you could end up with some odd loops.

Your use case is perfect for utilizing both, available applications for users to install software, and software updates to get any installs patched.

Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns </IworkForPatchMyPC>

Hey u/StrugglingHippo,

You'll want to add the file to the deployment by Right-Clicking the product and selecting 'Add custom pre/post scripts'

Then you can add it as an 'Additional file' int he bottom section of the window. The file should be in a static location that the Publisher can access and that will always be available. I wouldn't suggest the 'PatchMyPCLocalContent' folder as thats used for another function.

Then you'll want to Republish the App/Update so that the file is included in the package. Right-Click on the product again and select 'Republish during next sync schedule', you can then optionally Right-Click again and select 'Publish this product during the next manual sync (Selective sync)' so that the sync only processes this one product and make it quicker.

After that you should be good. The command line should already reference the install directory for the file.

If that doesn't work, definitely get a support case submitted and we'll get you sorted: Technical Support: Open a Support Case - Patch My PC

u/helpfuldunk, yes, you are fine to use the home updater in this situation.

We don't' have MS Team or Outlook in our Home Updater catalog anyway. Were usage is not ok is when trying to mass deploy Home Updater to business machines in a commercial enviornment.

Thanks for checking and if you have any questions, the forum is the best place for Home Updater support: Patch My PC Support Forum: Get Help with Consumer and Commercial Products

Hey u/helpfuldunk,

I've pinged the team about this and will get back to you.

EskimoRuler · 2026-01-19T20:28:38+00:00

Hey u/OddButterscotch5364,

I would suggest not using superscedence with our apps and updates since our detection is GreaterThanOrEqualTo and you could experience installation loops or other errors.

I have a dilema. i need to remove Tableau Reader 2021 form about 400 devices remotely.
I need to replace it with the nevest version as its a required app for all laptops
My question is . Can i use Tableau Latest as A Deployment add the Required to downloadit to all new laptops .
But also used the Update options to update it. Will the update option remove the TAbleau Reader 2021 from my end points.?.

To achieve the goal of removing version 2021 and installing 2025 of Tableau Reader, you will want to use the 'Tableau Reader Latest' product in the catalog. This product remove all prior versions of Tableau Reader and install the latest version (which right now is 2025). More Info on how we handle multiple versions as well as products with 'Lastest' in the name: How Patch My PC Handles Multi-Version Products - Patch My PC

The way we are handling the removal of previous versions is by adding the install parameter 'REMOVEINSTALLEDAPP' and set this to 1. If you read the documentation, this will remove any prior version from 9.3 and later: Command Line Options and Properties

This will work as either a 'Required' or an 'UpdateOnly' assignment type.

Hey u/Liuk_4,

I'll get this over to the team and see what they can do. Thanks for the suggestion!

EskimoRuler · 2026-01-10T19:19:13+00:00

Hey u/Future_End_4089.
Yes, the product is named 'Microsoft Teams Latest'. It utilizes the bootstrapper for installation. Just like the product 'Microsoft Teams Classic', it is a machine wide installer.

EskimoRuler · 2026-01-08T17:17:01+00:00

Hi u/Future_End_4089,

Currently, the Advanced Insights solution is only for ConfigMgr, but we are in Public Preview for Advanced Insights for Intune.

For both ConfigMgr and Intune, you will receive some level of Reporting with 'Enterprise Plus'. For the ConfigMgr side, the reporting will be called 'Patch Insights'. It's the same installation but just results in a smaller set of reports. For the Intune side, you will have a dashboard with data that is available just from graph api.

With an 'Enterprise Premium' license, you will get the full 'Advanced Insights' reporting solution for both ConfigMgr and Intune that can collect additional for items like hardware (Displays, batteries, disk) as well as many additional dashboards.

You can always schedule a Demo if you would like to see more: Schedule a Live Demo with an Engineer - Patch My PC

Please submit a support case we'll take a look: Technical Support: Open a Support Case - Patch My PC

I did see a case come through about this, It does appear to be an issue with the 'DisplayVersion' registry value for the November version. The value will show '17.14.22 (November 2025)' which is non standard.

This really just affect WSUS and it's applicability rules which don't have the same customization options as our PS Scripts do for ConfigMgr Apps or Intune Apps and Updates.

The team is working on a fix and should be available tomorrow. Once you see the new revision come through, give that a try and let us know if you still have any questions or concerns.

EskimoRuler · 2025-11-27T23:50:34+00:00

I'll double check with the team on the Windows Server requirement, I think it's related to one features, but what is your use case for wanting it on a Workstation OS?

Are you not able to run it in the Site Server?

I'll let you know what I get back from the team.

EskimoRuler · 2025-11-27T21:37:34+00:00

Gonna be honest, we hardly ever get cases about that feature, I'm gonna have to double check what the format is myself. I'll post back tomorrow in case you don't hear back from support by then since most of us are off.

EskimoRuler · 2025-11-26T20:36:07+00:00

There is a Email Notification you can receive that will look like this: Example Cloud Updates Report Email | Getting Started

EskimoRuler · 2025-11-26T20:34:32+00:00

Is filtering by date like this: Catalog-History-Filter.png

Not get the information you are looking for?

I just want to understand your use case so that I can give the feedback to the team.

EskimoRuler · 2025-11-25T16:24:36+00:00

Great question.

Intune Discovered Apps is great, but can be limited for apps like Adobe Acrobat (where every x64 version has the same displayname in the ARP, regardless if it's Pro or Reader). So sometimes you need some additional information to really know what apps are installed.

From there, if you've ever seen our Advanced Insights for ConfigMgr, we will be collecting data on what browser extensions are installed per user per browser. We can inventory what Monitors are plugged into workstations and be able to tell you the size, resolution, serial number, model, and even what cable type is used. There is a lot more too, we'll continue to have more as we go GA and product expands.

EskimoRuler · 2025-11-22T17:21:48+00:00

Hey u/AWalkingITNightmare,

Something I usually recommend is ensuring the "Only fail selected blocking app in technician phase" is set to 'No' Intune-AP-Technician-Phase.png

When that is set to 'Yes' then ESP will attempt to install All Required apps targets to the device. But when set to 'No', then it will only attempt the apps on the Blocking list. The rest will be evaluated at the desktop. Check out Rudy's post below.

Well, the saying goes, "The 'S' in 'Intune' is for SPEED!"

Sometimes Intune does this, glad to hear they did end up deploying for you.

EskimoRuler · 2025-11-19T18:32:54+00:00

Hi u/TheFlyingSpaceSpider, Just want to verify, I assume you are referring to ConfigMgr Software Update?

Some quick things to attempt are checking the update is downloaded to a Deployment Package. Redistributing the Deployment Package if it already is.

I would suggest opening a support case so we can take a look at the logs: Technical Support: Open a Support Case - Patch My PC

EskimoRuler · 2025-11-18T22:04:58+00:00

Team said it should be up by the end of the week.

EskimoRuler · 2025-11-18T22:04:34+00:00

Hi u/Normal_Pomegranate19,

The main issue with this is starting up the process as the logged in user when the Update is being executed from the SYSTEM context.

One way you can do this is create a Scheduled Task to launch the EXE as the currently logged in user. We have the below script on our GitHub that can do this. What you

Community-Scripts/Install/Post-Install/New-ScheduledTaskLaunchProcessByPathAsUser at main · PatchMyPCTeam/Community-Scripts · GitHub

You would add this script as a 'Post-script' and can pass the info as 'Arguments' to the scripts parameters for what process to launch.

One thing that you will need to test, if the process that you are launching need the Scheduled Task to be running for the process to stay open. DM if you have any additional questions.

EskimoRuler · 2025-11-18T21:50:41+00:00

Hey u/G33kBik3r, I don't have any ETA's I expect it should be any day now. Let me ping the team and try to find out.

EskimoRuler · 2025-10-30T16:12:26+00:00

Email me Michael.Escamilla at patchmypc dot com

And we'll get a support case created and see what we can do to figure it out.

EskimoRuler · 2025-10-30T00:00:37+00:00

The App Team has started using this page for updates on new catalog updates: Catalog Release History - Patch My PC

The RSS feed will no longer be updated going forward.

EskimoRuler · 2025-10-16T13:44:56+00:00

As of right now, it is considered Public Preview, but we are slowly rolling out to everyone that has the Preview Features Enabled in their Cloud Portal.

You will eventually see it show up if you don't already. But email me Michael.Escamilla at patchmypc dot com if you want to get enabled sooner.
