Custom Apps "Configuration" tab

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud Custom Apps

The Configuration tab is where you configure various properties for the Custom App.

Install Context

The Install Context setting (if available) configures the context in which the app is installed, either System or User.

Architecture

The Architecture setting (if available) configures the app's architecture.

Version

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

Language

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

Apps & Feature Name

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

Conflicting processes

In the Conflicting processes field, type 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.

Silent Install Parameters

In the Silent Install Parameters field, enter the command-line arguments (up to a maximum of 2,048 characters) used to install the app silently (i.e. the user is not aware of the installation occurring).

MSI Product Code

In the MSI Product Code field, enter the MSI product code for this app, which is used for detection.

Uninstall Command

There are two options for customizing the uninstall command:

• Auto Discovered (selected by default)

  • During uninstall, PatchMyPC-Scriptrunner scans the Uninstall registry key and looks for a subkey that matches the application name.

    • Once found, it uses the QuietUninstallString command from that subkey to perform the uninstall. If this String Value doesn't exist, then the information from UninstallString will be used.

    • If no match is found, the process will exit with return code 65535 (see PatchMyPC-ScriptRunner.log for details).

  • If you specify Additional Silent Uninstall Parameters, these will be appended to the UninstallString—not to the main installation file.

• Use Custom (in development)

  • This option is currently under development and expected in late 2025.

  • Once available, it will allow you to provide custom scripts to handle the uninstall of a custom app.

Return Codes

A Return Code (also referred to as an exit code), is a numeric value a program, process or function passes back to the calling entity (such as the operating system or another program) to indicate the outcome of the operation.
