Configuration

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud Custom Apps

On the Configuration tab:

1. In the Silent Install Parameters field, enter the command-line arguments used to install the app silently (i.e. the user is not aware of the installation occurring).

Note

Providing msiexec.exe /i for MSI installations is not required. Using /qn will be adequate for most MSI installations.

1. In the Version field, enter the version number for this app.

Note

The number entered in this field is the version of the app as shown in Add or remove programs.

Detection uses this field to determine if the app is installed by looking for a matching DisplayVersion entry in the following registry key:

HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

1. In the Language field, either type the language for this app or select it from the dropdown list.

   
2. In the Apps & Feature Name field, type the name of the app as it appears in Add or remove programs.

Note

Detection uses this field to determine if the app is installed by looking for a matching DisplayName entry in the following registry key:

HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

As this field allows a "%" wildcard (which matches on any string of characters), consider replacing the version number with this wildcard if the version number is in the Apps & Features Name.

This will allow App Detection and Update Requirement rules to detect older versions of the app on your endpoints.

Important

As the Apps & Features Name is used to determine applicability and detection, using an overly generic name may cause Intune Updates to be detected as required on devices without the software installed.

1. Configure any additional required options from those listed below.

Field	Description
Install Context	Controls the context in which the app is installed, either SYSTEM or User.
Architecture	Specifies the architecture for the app, either 64-bit or 32-bit. Detection uses this field to determine whether to look in the 32-bit or 64-bit registry keys: HKLM:\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall or HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Conflicting processes	A comma-separated list of executables that may interfere with the installation of this app. This field populates the list for the Manage Conflicting Processes right-click feature.
MSI Product Code	Applies to MSI installers only. The MSI Product Code for this app, which is used for detection. NOTE If the MSI Product Code for your installer does not update between versions, the Custom Apps Detection and Applicability rules will: • Not detect any changes and no updates will not be installed. • Detect the MSI app, even if an older version is installed. To work around this issue, change the MSI Product Code to all 0's (00000000-0000-0000-0000-0000) when creating the Custom App. This forces the detection and applicability scripts to fall back to DisplayName and DisplayVersion detection.

1. If you want to configure Native Detection Rules for this app, click Next to go to the Detection Rules tab. If you do not want to configure Native Detection Rules, click Next twice to go to the Summary tab.
