Cloud "General Information" Deployment tab

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

The General Information tab of the Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud deployment wizard allows you to configure various general settings (explained below) for how you want the app to be deployed.

Note

If an app has multiple variants with different version numbers, besides the version you will see a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it warning you of this.

"General Information" tab
Section
Description

Apply Template

Allows you to apply a Template of pre-configured settings to this deployment.

Connection

Shows the type of connection. Currently, we only support connections to Intune.

Display Name

The unique name for this deployment. This is also the name of the app as it will appear on the target devices. NOTE This Display Name has to be unique per operating system. For example, you can have two deployments for the same app if one is targeted to macOS and the other Windows. You cannot have two deployments with the same name if they are both tageted to either macOS or Windows.

Language

The language version of the app to be deployed. By default:

  • If an app supports multiple languages, we select the first supported language alphabetically by default.

  • If an app does not support multiple languages, we select English by default.

  • If an app does not support multiple languages or English, we select the first language alphabetically by default.

Architecture

The architecture of the installer to be deployed:

  • 64-bit installers can only be installed on 64-bit devices

  • 32-bit installers can typically be installed on either 32-bit or 64-bit devices.

  • Unspecified installers typically contain install logic for both architectures.

Install Context

The context in which to install the application:

  • System – Available to all users.

  • User – Available only to the specific user.

Installer Type

The available installer types you can choose from to install this app: Windows Installer Types

  • .exe

  • .msi

  • .msp

Note If the .msi option is greyed out, it's probably because this is a Binary Free app, i.e. you need to manually download the installer from the vendor and create it in PMPC Cloud as a Binary Free App (the "Upload the required installer via 'Manage Files' to enable selection of this variant" message indicates this).

Also, if this is a macOS app, we currently support the following installer types:

  • .dmg

  • .pkg


Once you have finished configuring the relevant options, click Next to move to the Configurations tab.
