guess the parameters changed
bad thing: the uninstall of the previous 9.x was already done :(
Hi there,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Ghostscript 10.01.0 was added to our catalogue March 22nd, and it, unfortunately, left some devices in a state where Ghostscript was no longer installed when the update was deployed.
Ghostscript includes a Patch My PC recommended pre-script to uninstall the previous version because the vendor's installer does not do this by default. This succeeded. However, the subsequent installation of the new version did not succeed, and it timed out.
The installation fails because it seems with the 10.01.0 installer doesn't like the usual /S parameter and our automation tests did not detect this.
The solution to getting the software back is to deploy the ConfigMgr App or Intune App. The original issue has now been resolved in our catalog.
Please accept our apologies that you encountered this issue. If you need any help or advice for triage, please contact
[email protected] and we can give you a more targeted response.
Can you please tell me, what the new parameters are? We don't have base installs licensed so I have to create this on my own now :(
Oh man, so sorry, I should not have assumed that. The latest version doesn't support /S so here is the info for the previous version. We have reached out to the vendor for an update.
gs9561w64.exe /S /v"/qn /norestart"

well... the update from vendor is here
https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=706495
they disabled it on purpose and if you ask them, how enterprises should update a vulnerable version on already installed devices, they literally say - and yes, this is a REAL QUOTE!

You know, actually that's not my problem. I don't give a ....
wow, thats a surprising standpoint :-[
Thank you for letting us know, we will follow up too.
Hi, we still dont have version 10.01.0 yet. (from PatchMyPC) Was it pulled from PatchMyPC? What about the latest version, is that going to be packaged?
Hello,
Artifex still do not allow silent installs of their app which is the reason we cannot continue to include newer 10.x versions in our catalog.
They have an announcement here

We still have the last update for 9.x in the catalog.
Ok, thanks for the quick reply.
Yikes about their response! Thanks for trying to work with the very unprofessional vendor. Was wondering why we weren't on the latest version.

What is the current status of GPL Ghostscript?
Application and update are still on list of supported products but package details is an empty window in Publisher and app is not creating after sync.
