Publisher Releases

You can find the production release history for the Patch My PC Publisher below.

2.1.29 - 2024-11-03

Improvements

  • Intune Updates will now have the icon for the product associated with them.

  • Added Czech, Finnish, and Norwegian translations for Manage Conflicting Processes.

  • Fixed Danish translation for Manage Conflicting Processes.

  • Imported banner images are stored in the installation directory of the Publisher instead of referencing the source file.

  • Removed the references for the SSRS reports and replaced them with Advanced Insights.

  • The Win32AppId is now included in the PatchMyPC-PublishingHistory.csv file.

  • Improved the handling of signed scripts when publishing. Sometimes, the Publisher would fail to replace a file and throw an exception. We now ensure the destination file is deleted before moving in the updated file.

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that caused the synchronization to stop if a tenant failed authentication. This impacted the Publisher with an MSP license and a multi-tenant setup.

  • Fixed a discrepancy between the PowerShell detection scripts and the ScriptRunner detection logic.

  • Fixed a bug with the filtering options for webhook notifications. The notifications should now be correctly filtered when the summary option and scope are set. For example, ‘Send alerts as each product is published…’ is unchecked, and only ‘Include Intune update notifications’ is checked.

2.1.28 - 2024-09-26

Improvements

  • Updated telemetry to include the list of selected products.

2.1.27 - 2024-09-10

Features

Improvements

  • Configured return codes are updated on sync for ConfigMgr applications, Intune applications, and Intune updates. If there is a mismatch between the settings in the Publisher and the published application, then the return codes from the settings will be applied. It is no longer necessary to republish a product to update the return codes.

  • Add support for passing additional headers when downloading binaries. This is metadata maintained by Patch My PC.

Fixes

  • Fix a bug that caused republishing a custom ConfigMgr application with additional files to fail in some scenarios.

  • Fixed a bug where the return codes in settings could be duplicated if the treeview was refreshed, or you switch tenants in a multi-tenant setup.

  • Update Intune detection to account for registry detection checking for a nonexistent property. We now allow a NotEquals check for a property that might not exist. Previously, this would cause an unhandled exception.

2.1.26 - 2024-07-25

Other

  • Signed the installer with our renewed code-signing certificate.

2.1.25 - 2024-06-26

Features

Improvements

  • Use a temporary staging directory for binary downloads when processing ConfigMgr applications

  • Improved handling of the cloud connection.

  • Improved how ConfigMgr content is resolved to ensure we choose non-retained applications if present.

  • The tooltip and icon for Manage Conflicting Processes suggested configurations are now more contextual.

    • If configured to Kill or Notify, the tooltip and icon are removed

    • If configured to Skip, the icon is shown, and the tooltip says, “Manage Conflicting Processes is recommended for this product and will be configured to Skip by default”

    • If configured to ‘Perform the installation,’ the icon is shown, and the tooltip says, “Manage Conflicting Processes is recommended for this product but is currently not configured”

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that caused the ‘Prevent the end-user from opening an application while the application is updating’ feature to not work for ConfigMgr or Intune applications in some instances.

  • If a product is renamed, the requirement rules for Intune Updates may not update as expected. This applies to custom applications and Patch My PC catalog applications. The old requirement rule for an Intune Update would be left behind. The requirement rules should now be maintained as expected when a product is renamed.

2.1.24 - 2024-05-30

Fixes

  • If the temporary file location configured in the Publisher does not exist, we now fall back to the system temporary directory. Previously, if this directory did not exist the PatchMyPcService would fail to start.

  • Fixed a bug where the secrets, such as the Intune application registration secret, would not be saved in the correct format on the first UI open for a new install.

2.1.23 - 2024-05-29

Features

  • Support for ‘Allow available uninstall’ in Intune

  • Implement coexistence

    • Coexistence ensures the customer is aware when a product is already managed by Intune Apps for Patch My PC Cloud.

Improvements

  • Improve our regex usage in the detection of applications published by Patch My PC.

    • The regex string is now stored in base64 in the PowerShell script to prevent Intune from clobbering UTF8 characters.

  • Enable the ‘Manage Installation Logging‘ option at the root of Customer Apps if at least one product supports it.

  • Enable the ‘Manage application update and retention‘ option for Custom apps on the ConfigMgr tab.

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that caused custom applications with a main file larger than 2GB to fail to process.

  • Fixed a bug that caused a circular reference when processing Intune dependency relationships with greater than 2 layers.

  • Fixed a bug that caused ConfigMgr applications to be copied for retention even if the current version fails to download.

  • Ensure proper wildcard support for ? in detection.

  • Fixed an incorrect translation for Manage Conflicting Processes. The default English text had the word ‘Applications’ translated.

2.1.22 - 2024-04-16

Features

Improvements

  • PowerShell detection scripts no longer call whoami. This resolves issues where the PATH environment variable may have conflicting whoami processes.

    • The ‘recreate detection‘ right-click option can be used to generate new scripts with this change. Otherwise, products will have the script updated when a new version is released.

  • Product selections are stored and matched based on a product Id

  • A message box will appear when a ‘latest‘ product is selected. This message box contains a brief note about how products with multiple versions are handled and provides a help button for more info.

  • Improve how we search for ConfigMgr application content.

  • When creating the cloud connection in the Publisher, the System Default browser will now be used.

    • If needed, the embedded web browser can still be used with a registry flag.

  • The ‘Collect Logs‘ button now collects all PowerShell detection scripts modified within the last 7 days. The scripts are renamed to have a .txt extension before being added to the zip file.

  • Additional default translations added to Manage Conflicting Processes

    • Added German, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish

    • Fixed Dutch translation

  • Icons in the product treeview now indicate if the product requires local content, or is configured to skip the install if running by default.

An image showing the Patch My PC Publisher product treeview with icons and tooltips indicating if a product needs a manual downoad, or Manage Conflicting Processes configured.

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that caused a null reference exception if a recommended pre script, and a recommended post script were configured on a product.

  • The configured proxy will be used to get an access token during cloud connection creation.

  • Disconnecting from the cloud tab did not save to settings.

2.1.21 - 2024-03-07

Fixes

  • Cloud features were not using the configured proxy. The proxy configured in the Publisher will now be used.

Other

2.1.20 - 2024-02-21

Features

Improvements

  • Improve how the list of custom products is queried from the cloud.

  • Improve the cloud connection flow to account for the EU region.

  • Various typo corrections in the UI and in the log.

  • Improve logging for retained ConfigMgr applications.

  • Expand out aggregate exceptions when they are logged.

  • Improved user experience both for a disconnected cloud configuration and an empty custom app list.

  • Use less memory when uploading .intunewin files to Intune.

  • Improve the user experience when the ConfigApi is not available

    • The UI can now start without the ConfigApi being available. A popup message will still appear indicating it cannot be reached.

    • When this is not available, the cloud features of the Publisher will be disabled.

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that made connecting to an EU Patch My PC cloud customer inconsistent.

  • Fixed a bug causing the copy between tab options not to work as expected when custom applications are configured.

  • Fixed a bug where ESP associations would copy between the Intune Apps and Intune Updates tab.

  • Improved how .intunewin files are handled to ensure we can process large files.

  • Fixed a bug that caused some right-click options to not clear their state as expected for custom apps.

  • Editing Manage Conflicting Process options did not light up the Apply button.

  • Fixed a bug that caused the Publisher to fail to retry when uploading chunks to Azure.

  • Fixed a bug where a custom application download may compare hash against an older version of the custom application’s hash.

  • Fixed a bug that caused the treeview to have a yellow background, as if no products are selected, even when products were selected.

2.1.19 - 2024-01-16

Features

  • Ability to create Custom App updates and base installs (Public preview)

    • Idea: PATCHMYPC-I-1303

    • The Publisher must have ‘Install preview builds‘ checked in the About tab.

    • Setup docs

    • Custom Applications are supported in the ConfigMgr apps, Intune apps, and Intune updates tabs.

    • A license with one of the below subscription levels is required.

      • Enterprise Plus

      • Enterprise Premium

      • MSP

  • Implement Publish Now for Custom Apps

  • Support detecting software that translates DisplayName

  • Add support for configuring Win32 application max runtime in minutes

Improvements

  • *** Report lines have been updated.

    • As the catalog grows and the number of syncing products increases, our *** report line has gotten too long! CMTrace does not parse the line, and it will not show it. To prevent this, we have split up the report line into one line per type. Below is an example.

  • Implement certificate pinning. All requests to Patch My PC domains will have the certificate validated.

  • Implement a safety check prior to deleting a ConfigMgr application. In some instances, the SMS provider returns an empty list of apps instead of a connection exception. To account for this, we ensure at least one Site is returned by the SMS provider prior to application deletion.

  • ConfigMgr script size is reduced. No functional changes. This should help with metadata download issues over CMG.

  • Add support for the ? wildcard character in detection.

  • Improve some popup notifications to direct the user to the correct tab.

  • Improve cleanup during service shutdown.

  • Update the default login authority for Intune. It is now https://login.microsoftonline.com

    • This will not affect existing Intune configurations. It is only a change to the defaults for a new connection.

  • Implement an attempted reconnect when a WMI query fails against the SMS provider.

  • Improved scriptrunner logic for finding uninstall strings. DisplayVersion will now have any “-” or “_” replaced by a “.” when searching for uninstall strings. This matches the behavior of our script based detection.

Fixes

  • Fixed a dead ‘More Info’ link for WSUS certificate management.

  • Fixed a bug causing dependencies to be removed from an Intune Win32 application when republishing.

  • Fixed a bug where publish now and delayed ConfigMgr apps did not work as expected.

  • Fixed a bug that caused a new install of Patch My PC Publisher to be in ‘Intune Only Mode’ regardless of the checkbox state.

  • Servers are no longer included in Intune device counts.

  • Resolved a race condition which caused the additional webhook filtering options to be unavailable in some instances.

  • Improved download engine logging to include the URL when the download fails. This was a regression that is now resolved.

  • The logging path for Intune Manage Installation Logging incorrectly defaulted to the ConfigMgr path. It is now corrected to the Intune default path for logging.

  • For some sync schedules, the ‘Next Sync’ time displayed in the General tab was in UTC instead of local time. The correct time should now be displayed.

  • Fix logging during the creation of Intune products when local content lookup fails. The Publisher would incorrectly log that the existing application would be deleted.

  • Fixed a bug causing Enforced Uninstall Arguments to be ignored for ConfigMgr apps. This resulted in some ConfigMgr apps being created with an uninstall that may not work as expected. The next sync after the Publisher is updated will fix these products’ uninstall configuration.

  • The connection name is now required in the Cloud tab.

  • Fixed a bug that caused a Null Reference Exception when exiting the Manage Conflicting Processes configuration in the Intune apps or Intune updates tab.

    • This was a regression that only impacted preview builds

  • Fixed a bug that caused the custom naming convention for ConfigMgr applications to be overwritten during a sync in some cases.

  • Fixed a bug where the authorization token can expire when connecting to Custom Apps, requiring a service restart.

  • Fixed a bug where Right-Click selections for “All Products” on the “Intune Apps” tab would be lost when custom apps was enabled.

    • This was a regression that only impacted preview builds

2.1.18 - 2023-10-16

Features

  • Sync only selected apps/updates during a sync

  • Allow the management of Delivery Optimization configuration for Intune assignments.

    • Idea: PATCHMYPC-I-2071

    • Note: Existing DO configuration on an assignment will also carry forward now when a new version of the software is Published.

  • The Intune Application Manager Utility now has some multi-select bulk options.

A right-click menu in the Intune App manager tool, showing the options available. Manage DO priority. Manage ESP associations. Delete assignments. Delete applications. Extract content(s).

Improvements

  • Implement a new download engine across all components.

  • Detection method improvements.

    • Support parsing version numbers that use – or _ instead of .

  • Improved logging regarding installer downloads and sourcing.

  • Use CSV-based reporting endpoints for detected software per-computer.

    • This should prevent 429 responses when getting the list of devices with an application.

  • WMI connection test to SMS provider prior to deleting ConfigMgr content.

  • Improve cleanup of files during the synchronization of Intune.

  • Updated the “Enabled” header of CSV exports in scan wizards to be less specific.

  • OK button has been changed to ‘Save and Close’

    • Open to feedback on this change. We have received a fair number of reports that it is unclear the ‘OK’ button will close the UI.

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the wrong ID property was shown in the ‘Show Package Info‘ tool for the update ID.

  • Fixed a bug where Manage Conflicting Processes may be enabled if ‘Add the executable name in the deployment type’s install behavior’ is enabled. This is unexpected behavior that will no longer occur.

  • Fixed a bug where multiple threads could access some components of settings at the same time, causing a race condition.

  • Fixed a bug where the ‘Change Visibility’ option for WSUS updates would not work if the WSUS DB is called something other than SUSDB.

  • Fixed a bug that caused the right-click menu at the root to sometimes not display correctly.

  • On the ConfigMgr Apps tab, if the option «Add the executable name in the deployment type’s install behavior» is enabled, the Manage Conflicting Process is automatically enabled to kill processes.

  • Fix crash when sorting some columns in the Manage Assignments tool.

  • Fixed a bug that would cause a republished Intune product to have the content for the latest version and the metadata for version n-1.

    • This would occur if the republish flag is set and there is a new version of the application in the catalog.

  • The list of Intune assignment filters is now filtered to Windows.

  • Fixed a bug where in some scenarios, the republish flag would not be removed after a sync.

  • Fix a possible null reference exception when loading assignments for bulk delivery optimization edits.

  • Fixed a bug where the custom logging path may be reset to defaults instead of inheriting the expected value.

  • Email and Webhook notifications are now sent when a delayed ConfigMgr application fails to download. Previously a notification would only happen if the Publishing failed after the delay.

  • Improved the cleanup of registry keys related to ‘Prevent the end-user from opening an application while the application is updating’ in Manage Conflicting Processes.

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where PowerShell scripts for Intune were created with an encoding of UTF8 with BOM. They are now encoded as UTF8 without BOM, which is the recommended encoding based on Microsoft documentation.

  • Fixed a bug where a malformed ConfigMgr folder item (SMS_ObjectContainerItem) would be created the first time the Publisher moved a ConfigMgr application. The result was a folder that could never be deleted.

  • Fixed a bug where Manage Conflicting Process logging did not use an invariant date-time format. This could cause CMTrace to fail to parse the logs.

  • Fixed a bug where the option to abort an uninstall if the prescript failed caused an argument parsing exception.

  • Fixed a bug where the automatic backup of setting changes would fail in certain cultures due to a date-time parsing issue.

  • Fixed a bug where custom naming conventions were copied between tabs. We no longer copy naming conventions when copying products between tabs.

2.1.12 - 2023-01-20

Features

Improvements

  • If a PMPC-defined pre or post-script is missing from the content source for ConfigMgr applications, then the Publisher will redownload it during a sync or republish.

  • The expected and actual hash of files found in the local content repository is now added to the log in debug mode. This has always been the case for files downloaded from the internet.

Fixes

Features

  • Collect Logs button added to the Publisher. Will create a .zip file of files useful for troubleshooting.

Improvements

  • If the ConfigMgr applications are configured to remove the version from the name, and there is application retention configured we will now append the version to OLD versions of the app. This is to ensure that there is only one application with the same name.

Features

Improvements

  • It is now possible to ‘Manage ESP assignments’ from within the Intune Application Manager.

  • ConfigMgr database scan button is now available on the ConfigMgr apps tab as well as the Updates tab.

  • ScriptRunner will always use Intune-based folders when executing from an Intune app installation.

  • ScriptRunner will now monitor for child processes during the uninstall of software. This ensures that uninstalls which spawn child processes do not exit immediately and cause a detection error.

  • Prevent using a ConfigMgr source path that could cause paths to exceed the 256 windows path limit.

  • Fixed a bug where publishing would proceed even if a custom script failed to be processed.

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the Publisher would fail to parse a command line that had a parameter that occurred more than once. This would cause a content update every sync.

    • New option to use ‘maximum run time’ from the respective update or app.

      • ConfigMgr Update Max: Will use configured update ‘max run time’ as configured in ConfigMgr for the update.

        • Note: Update max run time must be edited before the update is deployed for a client to recognize the change.

      • ConfigMgr App Max: Will use the configured deployment time ‘max run time.’

    • Idea: PATCHMYPC-I-1516

  • Send an alert if the Publisher failed to auto-update.

  • Send an alert when the Publisher is updated

  • Fixed a bug where Intune email reports would not include the warning regarding missing local content for applications

  • Fixed a bug where the ConfigMgr source folder validation would perform a partial match, such as \\server\source_apps being considered a conflict for \\server\source. We now append a trailing slash to the comparison.

  • Fixed a bug where the ‘Prevent Start…’ option for Manage Conflicting Process would throw an access denied error instead of the desired message box.

  • Fixed a bug where assignments would be copied from Intune app to Intune updates when the copy between tabs is used.

  • Fixed a bug where the Manage Conflicting Process UI may continue to append text instead of having a countdown when it is set to ‘Do not allow user deferral…’

  • Fixed a bug where pre/post uninstall scripts would only copy into the ConfigMgr source during a new application publisher. Scripts will now be copied into the source during the sync after the configuration change.

2.0.8 - 2021-07-12

Features

  • Manage Conflicting Process ‘Close and Update’ button will now call the CloseMainWindow first. If the conflicting application is still running after 20 seconds we fall back to the Kill method.

    • This gives the user 20 seconds to respond to any ‘save’ prompts or other app-closing windows.

    • Idea: PATCHMYPC-I-1277

  • Pre/Post scripts for uninstall

  • Manage Conflicting Process settings also apply to uninstall. This ensures that a user will be prompted to close software for the uninstall as well.

  • Allow multiple webhooks so alerts are posted to multiple endpoints.

  • Add a delay in Scriptrunner if the main installer exits in less than 2 seconds. This is to account for installers that spawn child processes.

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where a ‘Security Error’ may occur when signing PowerShell scripts and a PowerShell Execution Policy is set via GPO.

2.0.5 - 2021-06-08

Features

  • When a user or admin category was selected on a ConfigMgr application the Publisher would create a revision of the application every synchronization. Now a revision will only be created if a user or admin category needs to be added.

  • Improved logging when checking access to timestamp.digicert.com if a proxy is defined

2.0.4 - 2021-04-26

Improvements

  • Adding a right-click context menu to the Intune App Manager allowing you to navigate to the MEM portal to view some application information.

Features

  • ConfigMgr right-click option to set OS type requirement – client vs. server

  • Intune Scoping Support

    • There is a new right-click option for Intune applications and updates which lets you ‘Manage scope tags.’

  • Improve how settings are saved to prevent losing your Publisher configuration in some scenarios such as no disk space.

  • The UI Notification feature for conflicting processes will now exit with an exit code 1602 if the installation is snoozed or a timeout occurs. Previously it was 1618 which could cause very frequent reevaluation.

  • Wait to delete local content repository files until the end of the Publisher sync if the option to ‘Delete the update file in the local repository after publishing’ is selected.

    • In some cases, customers had the same binary needed for two different publish actions, and the second publish would fail because the binary had been deleted.

  • In the DownloadHistory.csv file, we now include the purpose of the download and the port.

  • The scan wizard found application count is now updated to reflect applications found with the specified filter.

  • Scriptrunner will now clean up leftover ‘Image File Execution Options’ registry keys. This helps prevent unexpected blocking of application launch in the event scriptrunner crashes and leaves behind some of these keys. We have also update the Manage Conflicting Processes docs to provide additional information for this scenario.

  • Updated the ConfigMgr detection script to cast the DisplayVersion to a string before trimming in the event a vendor has created DisplayVersion as a DWORD and not a REG_SZ

    • Script Version: 2.9

  • Delete N-# applications / updates in Intune

    • There are new settings available in the ‘Intune Options’ which allows you to specify retention for Intune Applications and Intune Updates. The valid values are between 0 and 10.

    • Idea: PATCHMYPC-I-967

  • InstallPackage as the default behavior for ScriptRunner

    • When the PatchMyPc-ScriptRunner.exe is double-clicked it will default to searching for package.xml in the same directory and performing /InstallPackage which allows PMPC application install to be launched without running them from the command line.

    • Idea: PATCHMYPC-I-1170
