On the Configuration tab:
- In the Silent Install Parameters field, enter the command-line arguments (up to a maximum of 2,048 characters) used to install the app silently (i.e. the user is not aware of the installation occurring).
**Note**
Providing `msiexec.exe /i` for MSI installations is not required. Using `/qn` will be adequate for most MSI installations.
Also, see [Supported Variables in Publisher and PMPC Cloud](../../../patch-my-pc-product-reference/supported-variables-in-patch-my-pc-on-premises-publisher-and-cloud.md) for a list of the variables we support in this field.
- In the Version field, enter the version number for this app.
**Note**
The number entered in this field is the version of the app as shown in **Add or remove programs**.
Detection uses this field to determine if the app is installed by looking for a matching **DisplayVersion** entry in the following registry key:
`HKLM:SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall`
- In the Language field, either type the language for this app or select it from the dropdown list.
- In the Apps & Feature Name field, type the name of the app as it appears in Add or remove programs.
**Note**
Detection uses this field to determine if the app is installed by looking for a matching **DisplayName** entry in the following registry key:
`HKLM:SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall`
As this field allows a “**%**” wildcard (which matches on any string of characters), consider replacing the version number with this wildcard if the version number is in the **Apps & Features Name**.
This will allow App Detection and Update Requirement rules to detect older versions of the app on your endpoints.
**Important**
As the **Apps & Features Name** is used to determine applicability and detection, using an overly generic name may cause Intune Updates to be detected as required on devices without the software installed.
- Configure any additional required options from those listed below.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Install Context | Controls the context in which the app is installed, either SYSTEM or User. |

| Conflicting processes | A comma-separated list of executables that may interfere with the installation of this app. This field populates the list for the Manage Conflicting Processes right-click feature. |
| MSI Product Code |
Applies to MSI installers only. The MSI Product Code for this app, which is used for detection. NOTE If the MSI Product Code for your installer does not update between versions, the Custom Apps Detection and Applicability rules will: • Not detect any changes and no updates will not be installed. • Detect the MSI app, even if an older version is installed. To work around this issue, change the MSI Product Code to all 0‘s ( |
