Hey There!

Thank you for sharing this insight with us! I'll pass this along to our devs to see if we should add this to the default MCP list going forward!

I'll keep you posted once they've provided an update!

Thanks,

Spencer Cruz

You're welcome! Thank you again for bringing this to our attention! 😊

Hey TK,

Just wanted to inform you that the new catalog has been released with the new command line in place! Let me know if you have any questions or run into any issues! 😊

Hey Ryan! My pleasure, sir! The new catalog has just been released. Please run a publisher service sync and let me know if you have any issues! 😊

Hey TK,

Thanks for reaching out here on the forum! I have reached out to our catalog team and they have agreed to make this change in the command line for TortoiseHG! This should be available in the next catalog release (No later than 4pm est.)

Let me know once you've had time to test if that's working for you! 😊

Best,

Spencer Cruz

Hey Ryan,

I wanted to update you on this issue! It looks like the devs have released a new version that supports machine wide installs.

https://github.com/d2phap/ImageGlass/releases/tag/9.0.8.1208

Our catalog team has been made aware of this new version and will get it added to the catalog today! Once you've had a chance to test this, please let me now if you have further issues! 😊

[Note: this will not work in the PMPC publisher until the vendor has officially released this build.]

Hey Ryan,

I wanted to post an update as the dev responded to one of the Github posts:

Looks like the dev responded to this thread and posted an unofficial build offering an option to install for everyone (All Users). I confirmed that the ALLUSERS=1 flag is now supported and will install properly with shortcuts when installed as SYSTEM using that flag.

Link to the Github Post:
https://github.com/d2phap/ImageGlass/issues/1708

Link to new MSI: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m7YBMEyIjVLajxUvJdy6t_6SQAcfhLgl/view?usp=sharing
Note: this will not work in the PMPC publisher until the vendor has officially released this build.

I also confirmed that the update from 8.10 to the new MSI 9.0.7.1130 (Installed via SYSTEM using ALLUSERS=1 for both installs) installed successfully!

Please be on the lookout for the next release of ImageGlass as that should resolve the issues we're seeing with the current 9.0 build!

Thank you, sir! This is helpful in understanding how the new installer functions! I'll pass this along to our app team and see if there is anything we can do to work around this issue!

Hey Ryan,



It's totally possible to install as SYSTEM! Unfortunately, though when installing as SYSTEM, ImageGlass will install but, there are no shortcuts or start menu programs created for users. You'll need to go into the program files folder to launch the program.

The vendor has the MSI set to install per-user and not per-machine. We have reached out to them to see why this change was made as it makes it difficult to mass deploy and manage when installing per user.

Hey Ryan,

Thanks for the extra info! I was able to replicate this in my lab and found that the vendor has changed the installer to only install under the user context (Per-User). This was a change from a SYSTEM wide (all users) installer.

This causes multiple entries listed in the registry since the User-based installer isn't able to replace the SYSTEM wide installer.

I've informed our application team and they're going to post on this GitHub thread for traction:
https://github.com/d2phap/ImageGlass/issues/1708

We may need to change this to be a User-based application. This means that WSUS will not be a supported method of deployment since it doesn't support user based installations. You will however, be able to publish the application package and deploy that to update that application.

We'll keep you posted once we've made the changes! 😊 

Hello!

Thank you for reaching out to support! Are you deploying this update via ConfigMgr/WSUS or Intune?

Thanks,

Spencer Cruz

Hey Trevor,

The application team has confirmed that they will be adding this as a default command in the next catalog release today. Let me know if you have any questions or don't notice the new command line in the Show Info Pane.

Hey Trevor,

Sorry for the delay! Just now getting back from the holiday vacation!

I can reach out to our app team and see if they can make this the default behavior for DB Browser. For the time being, you can add that same command line to the package via the right-click option " Modify Command Line." That will allow you to pass through any custom parameters to the installer package.

Thanks for reaching out to support!

You can accomplish this using collections and ADR's in ConfigMgr. You'll need to exclude the device from the primary collection used on the All Updates ADR. Then create a new collection with the machine(s) you want to exclude. Create a new ADR excluding those specific products and deploy those to the excluded machines collection.

The IntelliJ update has the same pre-defined uninstall script attached to it. You would need to add the copy post script to the update as well to retain the user settings.

Again, you can see this script by right-clicking on the update package in the Publisher and clicking on the Patch My PC Defined Pre/Post Scripts option.

If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to reach back out!

You can also email me at [email protected] if that would be an easier method of communication!
