We use this script to write to HKCU for all users and default profile for new logins...  As you said ActiveSetup is not supported, I would migrate away if possible (we have been for the last year) never know when it will get depreciated.

With the new add custom files option you can easily add the script, reg files and run pre/post.

Just a new major version, you are already updating 17...

If you happen to have a mechanism to update HKCU... The below entry will disable update checks.  This regkey path did change from 17.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\18.0_IsoShell\UpdateChecker "Enabled"="False"

While we are removing 17 using supersedence, it might be nice to have a replace option.

yup!  That pretty much sounds exactly it.

One challenge we are trying to work out is how to keep our SCCM applications that are updated by pmpc up to date (or just how to easily update them).

Currently we have created very generic SCCM app objects/scripts that will allow us to just swap out the installer msi/exe, update content and be done. Curious to hear how others are handling the initial install + PMPC.

If the publishing service could copy the source exe/msi files to a share, we could leverage those for our SCCM applications.  Even if only the newest version synced would be a big help.

We could copy or use that share as our source and just periodically just update content.

We are running into error: 0x80070643 during an upgrade.  If you retry it will detect.

Though not a typical detection error code (at least for apps), it does appear to update.

test scenario was installing 4.5.7 and upgrading to 4.5.8

Yeah looks like instruction is to just copy to a location and put the path in %PATH%...

Not an issue per se...

But found the following to disable update prompts in Power BI Desktop... Thought it might be helpful to setup the disable updates option for this product.

It is a simple MSI property during install... (looks like you use this to update)..  Added all 3 we use for initial installation in case useful for the desktop shortcut option.
