Last post by Liviu (Patch My PC) - December 09, 2024, 04:45:11 AMHi Dave,
From our testing, the behaviour only impacts the MSI, but we withheld the EXE version too, given the vendor confirmed issues with the current version, just to be safe.

Last post by PRABB32256 - December 09, 2024, 04:24:54 AMI believe the 43 minute timer is what's left of the "notification + 1 day" deferral period.
We reset everything (no notification, no auto-close), then did a republish.
After waiting a day, we set the notifications to the same as depicted above, then republished.
Users are now seeing the snooze button.

Last post by Liviu (Patch My PC) - December 09, 2024, 04:18:47 AMHello dave.west,
Google released a new update last week for version 131.0.6778.109.
Unfortunately with this release the installer for the Google Chrome MSI no longer functions properly. A bug has been created for Google here: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/382108340.
Due to this issue, Patch My PC is holding the update and not releasing the latest Chrome update for both the MSI, but also the EXE, just to be safe.
Unfortunately, because Google uses a static download link, holding the update will cause a hash mismatch. This error is expected at this time, and will remain until Google updates their installer and Patch My PC updates our catalog with a fixed version of Chrome.
Google confirmed they are working on a fix, and are expecting the fix to be released tomorrow, December 10th.
We are monitoring their releases, as we always do, and as soon as they fix this issue in their next release, we'll update our catalogue

General Questions (Free Home Updater) / Re: Difference between all app...
Last post by dking02 - December 09, 2024, 01:57:06 AMMost users will have many programs (non-portables) installed on their machines which are not on PMPCHU's list of 412 supported non-portable programs. For example, only about 1/4 of the non-portable programs installed on my PC are covered by PMPCHU. PMPCHU does not support downloading and installing these apps or checking them for updates and they will never appear on your My Apps tab. These unsupported apps must be downloaded from other sites or media. However, their Windows installer or setup programs will leave an uninstaller program as part of installation and related data in the Windows registry. PMPCHU has access to these uninstallers and data and is thus able to uninstall these apps even though they are not on its list of supported apps or were not installed through PMPCHU. As a result, the number of apps that PMPCHU can uninstall and that are listed on the Uninstall tab will generally be much larger than the number of apps listed on the My Apps tab.
Another reason for the Uninstall tab to list more apps is that some supported programs have options to uninstall individual modules. PMPCHU may have downloaded and installed the full product by default, particularly for silent installs, but since it came with uninstallers for individual modules, multiple modules of the program may be listed separately on the Uninstall tab of PMPCHU. Python is an example of a program which has multiple entries on the Uninstall tab where only a single instance of Python appears on the My Apps tab.

Last post by dave.west - December 09, 2024, 01:21:37 AMWe have both the Google Chrome MSI-x86 and MSI-x64 versions enabled and are working without issue. However, we have enabled the EXE-x64 version to cover all bases but it is failing to download with 'The hash of file downloaded is different than the file hash in our catalog'.
I did see this but it refers to the MSI version https://patchmypc.com/forum/index.php?topic=8289.0
Is anyone else experiencing this issue with the Google Chrome EXE version?

Last post by BH_btan - December 08, 2024, 08:59:24 PMHi, Just wondering how others handle this.
We are using PMP with SCCM.
I want to deploy the Application Package first and then use Software Updates to keep it up to date.
The thing is, the deployment for the Application package is required, so when it updates (which is daily), it will automatically push the new version.
How do others handle this?

Last post by btray - December 07, 2024, 01:00:55 PMI was able to fix, so am posting the fix in case others ran across the same issue. Turns out the first error message pointed to the fix, described in a YouTube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgazD-BRMG0
I had to enable access for my local PC account in the Windows Temp folder, and that fixed the install issue. Now, Patch My PC installs!

Last post by btray - December 07, 2024, 12:33:24 PMRef: Install file from current web site: PatchMyPC-HomeUpdater.msi (version 5.0.5.0), Target install systems running Windows 11 Pro 23H2 and 24H2.
After multiple install attempts, even after cleaning out the registry, AppData contents, and all other system drive PatchMyPC references to the previous version 4 PatchMyPC, the installation of the version 5 installer fails with 2 error messages:
Called RunScript when not marked in progress.
Called InstallFinalize when no install in progress.
This is followed by the message, "Patch My PC Home Update setup ended prematurely because of an error. Your system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, please run the installation again."
I have tried this on several Windows 11 Pro systems, all with the same result. The only system I could get the installation to work on is a Windows 10 Pro 22H2 system. So, all my Windows 11 systems are stuck on version 4.5.0.4 until I can successfully install version 5.
I am at a loss as to why this is repeatedly failing on my systems.
