hey Muja,

You can right-click on "Windows Subsystem for Linux (MSI-x64) and choose the "Modify Command Line" right-click option.


Depending in which platform our tool is packaging the software, a republish might be necessary.
Please see this KB article for more details:

hey markburkett,

The current version of the Home Updater does not integrated with SCCM. It's meant for personal use only, with a UI you have to directly interract.

Our Enterprise solution is meant for such integration.
We have a personal lab subscription you could use in a lab with up to 25 devices.

With release 2.1.27 of the PMPC Publisher, Workflows are now supported for Teams notifications.

Apologies for misunderstanding your initial ask.

You are correct, the argument you found in the meantime is the right one.
Linking the MS doc, in case it's needed by anyone else too.

Hello muja1913,

The version of WSL we currently support is 2.2.4.0.
You can see that by right-clicking on the software in Patch My PC --> Show Package Info.

[Pre-Script]

Hi Torsten,

It works for updates too using a PMPC feature, but it requires some manual work.

You can right-click on the Citrix Workspace within the PMPC Publisher Updates tab, then choose the "Add custom pre/post scripts" right-click option.

You can then insert a Pre-Script (it can be a PowerShell or batch script for instance) and specify your files (these can be the installers for dependencies).
Your script should then check if the prerequisites are installed, and if not, install them.

We don't have such a script, so you will have to write it yourself.
This option requires manual work, as you will have to update the prerequisites installers whenever there is a new version.

Another workaround would be this:

1. Create a collection with devices that should get Citrix Workspace installed only.
2. Create a separate ADR and deploy Visual C++, Edge WebView Runtime and .Net updates to the collection from step 1.
Or you could use ConfigMgr Apps to deploy the software to that collection.
3. At a later time, run the ADR that deploys the Citrix Workspace Updates.

This way, the prerequisites from step #2 would install before the Citrix Workspace updates, so the prereqs will be met.

Hi Torsten,

Yes, you could package up Visual C++ Runtime (it's available as an app in the PMPC list of supported apps).
Once packaged, edit the Citrix Workspace app and configure a dependency with auto-install for the newly Visual C++ Runtime.

You might want to do that for .NET Core too, here is a list with all of the prerequisites Citrix documented.

Finally, a quick tip.
You didn't specify if you are using ConfigMgr or Intune.
If you are using Intune, open the PMPC Publisher console --> go to the "Intune Apps" tab --> Options --> enable the "Update application dependencies..." option.
With that setting enabled, when future versions will be packaged by the PMPC Publisher, the dependency will be carried over.

If you want to learn more about our product and see a free, live demo, please book a demo with an engineer.

Hello Saurabh,

Yes, it is possible to patch apps that were initially manually installed by users with local admin permissions.

> "Is PMP Cloud capable of scanning the devices and apps already installed and offer updates? If yes, how do we that?"
It is not possible at the moment, but we are working on a feature that will allow you to do that.
Please upvote this idea if you want to be notified.

Hi Iraklis,

I don't have an exact timeline, but it should be 1 to 2 weeks. 3 max.

[About]

Hi Iraklis,

In a "preview" release of the PMPC publisher we have support for the alternative Microsoft suggest - Workflows.

To get support within the PMPC Publisher for "Workflows", you will need to upgrade the PMPC Publisher to the 2.1.26.5 preview version.
You can do so from the About tab.

This build containing support for Workflows should be shipped to Production soon.

To migrate from Webhooks to Workflows, please follow this guide.

Hi Rollem99,

You are correct, the latest ODBC driver was reverted to the previous version - 18.3.3.1.
We have reverted Microsoft ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server to  v18.3.3.1 due to multiple reports of failed installs from customers on August 24th.

Here are the release notes with the catalog updates made that day.

No worries at all; the page is not advertised as much as it should.

I'm happy it worked, many thanks for the update!

Hello Mika-Zaja,

I deleted my previous comment, as it applied to the "Dell Command Update"

I realized that you were referring to another software.

Dell Command Endpoint Configure requires "Microsoft .NET Core Desktop Runtime 6 (EXE-x64)" to be installed.
That is a known dependency for this software.
Please make sure that Microsoft .NET Core Desktop Runtime 6 is installed on the device and then try again.

If it still fails, please collect the logs and open a support case.

hey Muja 1913,

Thanks for reaching out.
We'll add the new version later today.

We'll keep you updated
