Patch My PC Defined Pre/Post Scripts
Applies to: Patch My PC Publisher Available at level: Product Available on tab: Updates, ConfigMgr Apps, Intune Apps, Intune Updates
Overview
Patch My PC defined pre and post scripts are provided for specific products that cannot fully manage certain scenarios on their own. A common example is software that is unable to remove older versions during an upgrade, such as Oracle Java.
These scripts are downloaded and bundled automatically with the application or update when it is published.
Required Scripts
Required Scripts are enforced and cannot be modified or disabled. They are always executed as part of the installation or update to ensure the application installs correctly.
Recommended Scripts
Recommended Scripts are optional. They are included with the application or update but can be disabled if you prefer not to use them.
Review the Recommended Script
To view the Patch My PC recommended script:
Click the Patch My PC Defined Pre/Post Scripts right-click customization option for the product in the product tree.
Click View to open the script in a browser and review its contents.
Review the Description field to understand what the script does and when it runs.
Note
Recommended scripts are hosted by Patch My PC and are referenced by URL. They are not editable from the Publisher UI.
Configure Script Behavior
The following options control how the recommended script behaves.
Don’t attempt software update if the pre script returns an exit code other than 0 or 3010 When enabled, the installation or update stops if the recommended script fails. This option is enabled by default and ensures the deployment does not continue if required cleanup actions cannot be completed.
Disable the Patch My PC recommended pre update script for this product When enabled, the recommended script is skipped for this product. This option is available only for recommended scripts and does not apply to required scripts.
