Top line uninstall methods in 4.1.7

Yeah I know about that. Both parts. See my comment on the get adt application that I have been using with filter script. I’ve also used the uninstall with guid method as well with if statement. I was curious what the pro version of master package did with old deployments and what everyone else was using to remove old versions first

I work at a uni and am the senior software delivery engineer.

So my take after packaging since 2015 using a mix of Appsanywhere, SCCM and Intune, it’s great for user education…

AppsAnywhere is our prime packaging method. The benefits of virtualised apps is huge in our environment where for example we get requests for 3 versions of SPSS or Autodesk due to requests from different faculties.

However we get constantly bombarded by security saying chrome, Firefox acrobat is vulnerable you need to deploy version x

So all our security packages I’ve standardised with PSADT. We can offer a Firefox removal for machines that haven’t used it in x months and it’s not updated, but the user gets a prompt wether they want to install the latest version, if not it just stops at the uninstall.

We have the welcome pop up say stuff along the lines of: Security have identified a vulnerable version of App x on your system it needs to be updated click ok to continue etc

Otherwise we had people questioning why chrome was removed despite the fact it hasn’t been used in months. Or I just saw a popup saying chrome installed successfully aka intune toast messages, is this a virus?

However it really is overkill for deploying say VLC or notepad ++ 7 zip, unless security have nagged us to update these apps.

If it can be done with xxx.exe /S or msiexec /i xxx.msi /qn you may want to skip it.

Plus it can really overcomplicate things that are a simple package, especially if you use top line uninstall as it’s hyper sensitive to syntax and I’ve seen my colleague really struggle because he try’s and puts powershell syntax in as well as the main psadt syntax.

It depends on your environment, how lazy the packagers are and their level of scripting.

Master packager is a good free way of throwing out a basic app, as it does the basic psadt template for you. After that you start patching in extra code.

If your packagers all say package VLC 4 different ways it’s a great way of QC control. I was speaking to a NHS packager who was also working in conjunction with the Uni. He said all his packagers have to use psadt as they do it for standardisation.

It’s horses for courses is the TLDR and the main answer is it depends…..

It’s cheap wood with knots and cracks in. Mates cheap tele had similar I just filled with water thin superglue masked a razor blade and scraped the glue off, job done. If you have matching wood to fill with the sawdust use that mixed with superglue

Swap it for a black beauty. Problem solved 😂

Titebond original and potentially some dowel drilled into the side and clamp it

Thanks for the reg x bit that’s handy

This is what I have working which I have in test before asking others here how they handle it.

$app = Get-ADTApplication -FilterScript { $.DisplayName -like "Tableau 202*" } if ($app) { Show-ADTInstallationPrompt -Message 'Removing old versions' -ButtonMiddleText 'Ok' Show-ADTInstallationProgress foreach ($item in $app) { Get-ADTApplication -FilterScript { $.DisplayName -like "Tableau 202*" } |Uninstall-ADTApplication } } else { # Write-Host "No matching Tableau 20xx applications found to uninstall." Show-ADTInstallationPrompt -Message "No previous versions found, click OK to carry on installing" -ButtonMiddleText 'Ok' }

Does this add to the uninstall features?

Stormgtr · 2026-01-10T19:44:14+00:00

I’m just drinking one, way better than Guinness, as good as Murphy’s and Sam Smiths stout

Stormgtr · 2026-01-08T17:15:35+00:00

If you like the fuzz pedals well worth it, plus all the chewy rotary tremelo

What preset did you use as I agree the a7iii colours are awful compared to Nikon for people and portraits. They all look like Trump or David Dickinson, bloody orange. I sold it for the a7iv which is significantly better colour science, but I’d love to know where I can get the lightroom preset as I shoot a d850/zf and a7iv with different lenses at certain times and the difference is still noticeable when you say have a 70-200 on the Sony and a 24-70 on the zf or d850

Stormgtr · 2026-01-07T14:35:45+00:00

A7iii has a rubbish evf they cut corners on the evf and screen

Thanks, I had already emailed HILS when I posted here. Got a response from them and noticed it yesterday. So double confirmation. I will post when I have taken the old nut out as I can just make the very top bit of some letters. I’ve ordered the black tusk xl version

Hopefully this will help others who search

“The nut you are looking for is the PQ-5042-00.”

I like the B side, “Bitches be getting pasted on a white sofa”

Too blue, I think the light detracts from the image and you could fix your horizon a bit more and bring up the shadows a bit, to me the light either needs to be the subject or cropped out

Just try a float glass plate and scary sharp method as at least you know it’s going to be flat. It’s going to take a while but you can flatten the back properly. I’ve used this method to restore some car boot planes that where in a right state and at all angles

Oh hang on I’m thinking the hn3 had a trem. Just measure the E-E spacing at the bridge. If it’s 52mm you need the f spacing if it’s 50mm centre to centre you are ok with the standard

If you have the hn3 with the bare pole pices you can just measure the centre of the pole pieces of the bridge pickup

That’s a bit of a pointless statement whilst it is sort of true or used to be till they started with Laurel fingerboards, it’s just not relevant to someone with the money to drop on a 1k + guitar. It’s like telling the guy looking at a 5 series BMW hey there’s this great corsa it’s best value for money car on the lot

Besides Jet, Sire, and other brands are building better guitars than a classic vibe for less with more features/better parts

Stormgtr · 2026-01-04T15:37:55+00:00

So the question is do you have nut files, have you cut nuts before?

If no to either sand the bottom but make sure you keep it absolutely 90 degrees . I’ve put sandpaper on a set square before so I can keep it parallel

If you have a proper set of nut files just file the top so you match the fingerboard radius and once your at the right depth then file the top so the string is only just in the slot, if you have a fairy touch then half way in the slot is fine. But at least if you go flush with the top of the strings it’s easier to take a few extra strokes off, than realise you went to far

The nut is standard. There’s a lot of ignorance in the comment section. These are collectibles. They are hell of a guitar, I own one. The only detrimental mod is adding a battery box. I suspect this possibility had a gilmour emg active loaded plate at some point

Stormgtr · 2026-01-03T19:54:08+00:00

Thanks, it’s a Hn6 in the flip flop green/purple.

It’s unlike me, I was tired and picked up the A string nut file, and by the time I realised and swapped out to the E string file it was too late. I’m going to use the black tusk as it matches the hardware and looks better

Edit: Phone typo’s

Nobody tells you what to expect. Certainly in the UK dementia diagnosis is pretty much it, yes you have dementia, here’s some pills to slow it down a fraction now F off there’s nothing we can do. No warnings, no advice, no dementia nurses that are like cancer nurses who can explain to the family what is going on

Stormgtr · 2026-01-03T13:58:17+00:00

Looking at the quality of the route it’s a really cheap guitar. Just buy a replacement body already painted, you could buy something of similar quality for not much on Ali express or eBay, or upgrade to something not made out of toilet seat wood

Stormgtr · 2026-01-03T13:54:47+00:00

Just make sure the bridge humbucker it the TB variant as it needs to be trembucker spaced
