Deployment Overview
Details the various methods you can deploy apps using Patch My PC Cloud
Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud
Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud supports the following methods for deploying apps:
Deploying an App we can auto-update from our App Catalog
The PMPC App Catalog contains apps for which there is a publicly accessible download of the installer that we can deploy and update. In the majority of cases, you should use the Deploy an App process to deploy your apps.
Deploying an App we cannot auto-update from our App Catalog
Some apps do not publish a publicly accessible download. These are typically apps:
You need to pay for.
The installer is behind a paywall that requires an individual login and password.
The vendor uses a compressed file for its installer.
We refer to such apps as Binary-free apps and you should follow the Create a Binary Free App process.
Note
See our Products that Require Manual Download to the Local Content Repository for a list of such apps that we’ve built and maintain.
Using Custom Apps to deploy a custom EXE or MSI
If you have your own installer (EXE or MSI) that you want to deploy, then you should follow the Create a Custom App and Publish a Custom App processes.
