These executables are applied to the deployment type’s **Install Behavior** settings and control how ConfigMgr responds when an application is in use during an install.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important**

We strongly recommend using the [Manage Conflicting Processes](https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-publisher/customizations-right-click-options/manage-conflicting-processes) right-click option to notify users about running applications. That option provides greater flexibility and control, allowing for a smoother and more predictable user experience during installations and updates.

## Deployment Behavior

### Available Deployments&#xD;

If any of the specified executables are running when the user initiates the installation from Software Center, the installation will fail.&#x20;

The user is notified and must close the application before retrying the install.

### Required Deployments&#xD;

If the executable remains running, the required installation will fail. If an installation fails due to a running executable, the failure reason can be reviewed in **CIAgent.log** on the client device.
