Support and General Questions (Enterprises Using ConfigMgr and Intune) / Number of installation complet...
Last post by PS_Alex - May 15, 2023, 03:36:20 PMHi all,
We are currently reviewing Patch My PC, and I've ben tasked to find a way to count the number of installation that were realized by a Patch My PC update or configmgr app. Is there a way I can track that kind of statistics?
Currently, we allow apps that rely on a native updater (i.e. Google Chrome, or Adobe Acrobat/Reader) to auto-update using their built-in mechanism. On top of that, we've enabled these updates in Patch My PC. We want to quantify the number of updates that were done by PmP vs those completed by the auto-update mechanism.
Thanks!

Report Update/App Install Issues (Enterprises Using ConfigMgr and Intune) / Java RE update removes PATH va...
Last post by FabianSz - May 15, 2023, 09:18:17 AMWe had an issue with latest Java rollout JRE 8 Update 371. Oracle did some major changes which broke the e-banking software of one of our banks we make business with.
Additionally, sometimes the Java path in PATH variable was gone, as well as the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath", which is kind of a link to another folder like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath_target_15148000". The missing PATH broke other java apps which rely on finding the java executable.
Oracle changed the behavior in the past. They moved that "javapath" from C:\Programdata to C:\Program Files (x86): https://support.oracle.com/knowledge/Middleware/2412304_1.html
I've not found the cause of the missing PATH variable, yet. But it seems that the install order of 32-bit and 64-bit is important. Every time I install the 32-bit version AFTER 64-bit (using Patch My PC), the PATH variable is gone. The other way round, it stays.
Same issue happens when I run the setups manually in the following order --> PATH variable is gone.
jre-8u371-windows-x64.exe /s /L C:\Logs\PatchMyPCInstallLogs\jre-8u371-windows-x64.exe-manual.log
jre-8u371-windows-i586.exe /s /L C:\Logs\PatchMyPCInstallLogs\jre-8u371-windows-i586.exe-manual.log
Using the extracted MSI setups (silently) in the "wrong" order, results in the same issue --> path is gone.
But now comes the fun part: Running the EXE interactively, it's all good!!
Looks like it's a bug of Oracles 371 silent mode :-(
Can anyone confirm this behavior?

Last post by Cody Mathis (Patch My PC) - May 11, 2023, 08:13:18 PMCan you please send us the zip file from the 'Collect Diagnostics' button on the general tab? Also, if you can get the PatchMyPC-ScriptRunner.log from a client that tries to run that install, that would be good too.
Send them to [email protected], please.
