Configurations

Explains the various settings on the "Configurations" page when deploying an app using Patch My PC Cloud

The Configurations page of the Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud deployment wizard allows you to configure various configuration settings (explained below) for how you want the app to be deployed.

Note

See the relevant article for more details on the settings available for each optional tab of the Tools tab.

Desktop Shortcut

Option	Description
Remove Desktop Shortcut	If checked, will remove the desktop shortcut created as part of the app installation.

Available Uninstall

Option	Description
Allow Available Uninstall	If checked, allows Intune Apps to uninstall the app if the Company Portal installed it.

Conflicting Process

The installation of some apps cannot be completed if the app:

• is currently running

• uses a shared process that needs to be closed, but in doing so, could impact that process and other apps using it.

This setting lets you control what happens in such scenarios, using one of the following options.

Option	Description
Perform the installation	Performs the installation regardless.
Auto-close conflicting application process before installation	Automatically closes the app/process causing the conflict to allow this app to be installed. IMPORTANT This can result in data loss so use with care.
Skip installation when conflicting processes are in use	The installation is skipped until the conflicting process is no longer in use.
Notify the user to close the application	The default option. The user sees a notification requesting they close the app that is preventing this install. NOTE If the user snoozes/defers the update, the installation returns as a failure and retries 24 hours later.

Conflicting Process - Settings

Allows you to configure the following Advanced Settings for Conflicting Processes.

Notify Timeout Configuration

How long in seconds (300 by default), before the notification timeouts.

Notification Policy

Option	Description
Notification behavior if the application running and focus assist is enabled	How the notification behaves if the app is currently running and Focus Assist is enabled: o Discard the Notification (default) o Always show the notification o Show the notification if the deferred policy is reached
Do not allow user deferral	The user cannot defer the installation. The app will close and update when the timeout expires.
Allow the user to defer the installation	Controls both: o How many times the user can defer the installation. o What happens if the timeout expires and the user hasn't taken an action.
Prevent the application from being opened while it is updating	Prevents the app from opening whilst it is being updated.
