Support and General Questions (Enterprises Using ConfigMgr and Intune) / Re: PADT - RemoveMSIApplicatio...
Last post by Dan Gough - April 29, 2024, 02:07:08 AMThere is a HKCU equivalent of that key also in case it was a per-user MSI:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Installer\Products
Windows Installer also caches MSIs under C:\Windows\Installer with a random filename, check out the LocalPackage value under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\$CompressedGuid\InstallProperties.
If all else fails and you need to take the nuclear option to remove the record of an MSI from the system (which may leave some of its contents behind), there is MsiZap.exe from Microsoft; and there is a community PSADT extension for it here:
https://discourse.psappdeploytoolkit.com/t/psadt-msizap-extension/4431
Although I should point out this extension replaces an existing toolkit function Execute-Msi, which is not good practice.

Last post by samuel.olsson - April 29, 2024, 01:02:40 AMHi Dan,
Thanks for trying to help!
I tried your fix. Unfortunately it's still looking for the msi file in the old location even after changing the path in that reg key.
I've searched through the registry for other places where that SourceList might be found and changing the path ther as well. Still no luck.

Last post by Kyle (Patch My PC) - April 26, 2024, 07:49:49 AMHello Eric,
We are a bit limited in terms of what we can provide from an Intune reporting perspective. You can use the following PowerBI report in conjunction with the App. Manager Utility to get some general reporting information:
https://patchmypc.com/power-bi-reports-for-microsoft-intune-third-party-updates
Beyond that, we are currently in the process of developing/enhancing our Advanced Insights reporting solution to work with the Intune data set. More news on that will be released later this year.

Support and General Questions (Enterprises Using ConfigMgr and Intune) / Overview of deployed Intune up...
Last post by DarkfangQC - April 26, 2024, 07:10:55 AMHello!
Is there a way to have an overview of all deployed PMPC updates from Intune ?
It's kind of annoying to check the status of each and every deployed apps. Custom Workbook in Azure maybe ?
Thanks

Last post by Dan Gough - April 26, 2024, 05:44:21 AMFurthermore; it looks like you were getting an error uninstalling an MSI because Windows Installer was looking for the cached MSI in order to perform the uninstall. So it wasn't a matter of where the PSADT Remove-MsiApplications function was looking for the MSI, it's more that Windows Installer itself was looking for it. When this happens, you can update the sourcelist for the app as above.

Last post by Dan Gough - April 26, 2024, 04:57:21 AMHi,
Firstly, if this is an SCCM application, then SCCM has native functionality to manage the sourcelist; just browse to the MSI file via the bottom of the Programs tab of the Deployment Type properties. The Patch My PC Publisher does not fill this in, which is something I will raise.
If you want to add/replace the SourceList via PSADT though, there is a community extension for it here that you might find useful:
https://discourse.psappdeploytoolkit.com/t/msi-sourcelist-and-psadt/879
Otherwise, for a more manual approach using the registry, you can get the ProductCode of an MSI application via PSADT (which looks at the uninstall keys like HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall):
$ProductCode = (Get-InstalledApplication -Name 'Acrobat').ProductCode
Or native PowerShell:
$ProductCode = (Get-Package -Provider MSI | Where Name -match 'Acrobat').FastPackageReference
Then you will need to convert that GUID to a new format:
$CompressedGuid = -join (($ProductCode | Select-String -Pattern '^\{?(.{8})-(.{4})-(.{4})-(.{2})(.{2})-(.{2})(.{2})(.{2})(.{2})(.{2})(.{2})\}?$' -AllMatches).Matches.Groups[1..11].Value | ForEach-Object { $CharArray = $_.ToCharArray(); [System.Array]::Reverse($CharArray); -join $CharArray })
Then you can look up the reg key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\$CompressedGuid\SourceList".

Support and General Questions (Enterprises Using ConfigMgr and Intune) / PADT - RemoveMSIApplication
Last post by samuel.olsson - April 26, 2024, 03:25:58 AMHi,
I was wondering how these actions are performed when calling for RemoveMSIApplication in PADT.
Reason I ask, is that I'm trying to change the value returned as LastUsedSource to point it to a different location.
Thanks in advance!
