Everything works great now. Thank you guys!
The newer detection method also works for my environment!

Hello Patch My PC Team,

thank you very much for the implementation. Unfortunately, the detection method still does not work like this. Version 3.2.3.20210624 is installed on the client. The detection does not work until I set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{E4F354C3-4074-484E-9158-A74D9588652F} DisplayVersion to the value 3.2.3. With the value 3.2.3.20210624 the detection does not work.
I still think that the detection fails because of the long version number. As already mentioned, we sometimes have such problems even with detection of software installations with long version numbers. A version number with two dots (e.g. 3.2.4 instead of 3.2.4.01234) seems to be the maximum for some reason.

Thanks for the tip Adam!
I have to admit that I was not familiar with the possibility of using the options for applicability rules via Patch My PC Publishing Service. I looked for it in System Center Updates Publisher, which we don't use for productive updates anymore. Unfortunately, the above mentioned rule is specified in it. Never mind, please ignore it.

I have now done the following steps: the entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{E4F354C3-4074-484E-9158-A74D9588652F} was present. When I changed the value under DisplayVersion from 3.2.3.20210624 to 3.2.3, the update was also provided to me for the client. I have now been able to recreate this on several clients. Strange.

Is it possible to change the value (test wise) in the update?
From 3.2.4.20210
To 3.2.4

<bar:RegSzToVersion RegType32="true" Key="HKEY_LOOP_TARGET" Subkey="\" Comparison="LessThan" Data="3.2.4.20210" Value="DisplayVersion" />

The problem with long version numbers is also familiar to me from MECM. Sometimes the value of the version number has to be changed from version (number) to text. Is this perhaps due to the locale?


Thanks a lot

Hello everyone,

I think something is wrong with the Detection/Installable Rule of Nextcloud in the PatchMyPC catalog.
In older versions two registry keys Value and Version strings are checked, in more recent versions (for example 3.2.4.20210) the following is checked:
Windows Version >= Custom Version.

The automatic update via PatchMyPC currently does not work at all for the Nextcloud installations in my environment. Are there any known problems?

Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot!

We will have to look at this. We are also looking into the AdoptOpekJDK would that work for you?

Unfortunately, our customers have chosen Amazon Corretto. Due to the good results we are dependent on this application. I really would appreciate it if this application could also be included in your catalogue.

We will be planning to add additional languages for software updates soon! Most likely Q3 or Q4 of this year.

Thank you Justin. I'm looking forward to it.

Hello, is it possible to allow only one specific language in the paid catalogue - as long as the manufacturer supports that language? You can also specify the language in the Home Updater. I really miss this function in the paid catalogue. For example, if you update Mozilla Firefox ESR, it will be in English instead of German.

Hello, I would like to suggest the software Amazon Corretto for the paid catalog.

Amazon Corretto Version 8 JDK & JRE: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/de_de/corretto/latest/corretto-8-ug/downloads-list.html
Amazon Corretto Version 11 JDK: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/de_de/corretto/latest/corretto-11-ug/downloads-list.html

Thank you

I would like to request the Nextcloud Windows Client (https://www.nextcloud.com).
Thank you
