Report Update/App Install Issues (Enterprises Using ConfigMgr and Intune) / Microsoft RedistributableX64 2...
Last post by mguenth83 - November 14, 2024, 01:49:02 AMHi,
currently we have the Problem the the RedistributableX64 2015-2022 X64 hangs in the Autopilot Phase.
It seems that detection Script causes an Problem on detection on some devices.
Currious is that the X86 has not Problem and its the same detection method.
As i debugged following thing will be happend:
Installation starting for the first try but installer is not starting, then the Detection Script starts and runs into an Timeout after 60 min. After that it runs again and the Excuter will be run successfully and detection script is working

Report Bugs and Issues (Free Home Updater) / Portable apps are displayed in...
Last post by dking02 - November 14, 2024, 01:39:08 AMOn the Apps tab of Home Updater v5.0.3, portable apps are listed with the word "Portable" in bold yellow appended to the name if necessary. This clearly distinguishes portable apps from non-portable apps. (Note: "Portable" is only explicitly part of the raw name of a supported portable app if there is supported non-portable version of app in the library.)
However, on the Uninstaller tab, portable apps are identified by their raw name only. Since most supported portable apps do not explicitly include "Portable" in their name, the distinction between portable and non-portable installations is more difficult to determine, particularly in the case where a user has installed the non-portable version of an app not in the library and a supported portable version of the same app. Even where the word "Portable" is included in portable app's name, it is not highlighted in yellow to better distinguish it.
This inconsistency in appearance of portable apps names between two highly related tabs raises the likelihood of confusion about what type of installation of the app is being uninstalled. Having to correct a situation where a wrong app installation has been deleted can be difficult, particularly if the error goes unnoticed initially. Each app in My Apps, whether it is a supported portable or supported non-portable app, appears in the Uninstaller tab. One would expect them to be listed in a similar manner in both tabs, particularly since a user can uninstall an app from either tab and because installing or uninstalling an app on the Apps tab or uninstalling an app on the Uninstaller tab has an effect on the other tab.
The recommended solution is to correct the display of portable apps in the Display Name column of the Uninstaller tab to match the Display Name column of the Apps tab. (Note: Since this issue can easily lead to errors and confusion, it needs to be fixed. Therefore, I consider this issue to be a bug, not an enhancement.)

Report Detection Issues Here (Free Home Updater) / Paint.NET 5.1.0 Update - Home ...
Last post by dking02 - November 13, 2024, 10:54:23 PMOn 13 Nov 2024, Home Updater V5.0.3 showed an update of Paint 5.1 (released and installed on 12 Nov 2024) to 5.1.0 (see attached screenshot). 5.1.0 is a bogus version id for Paint.NET. The update to 5.1.0 reinstalled version 5.1 but Home Updater got hung in an endless loop exiting the installer. Home Updater needed to be exited to get out of the loop and any pending updates reinitiated. v5.1 is what appears in the registry, in the Paint.Net Version History, within the app, and in what PMPC ultimately displays after installing the so-called update leaving the incorrect "Outdated" status displayed. Ideally, a difference in version numbers like 5.1 and 5.1.0 would be considered insignificant and not trigger an update.

Report Publishing/Download/Hash Issues (Enterprises Using ConfigMgr and Intune) / Re: VLC outdated
Last post by Raunak Desai (Patch My PC) - November 13, 2024, 10:50:41 PMHey,
Thank you for reaching out to support.
Yes, this is the reason. VLC have not yet released an update for the .msi installer and they have only offered an update for the .exe installer.
Their approach to feedback about releasing an .msi 3.0.21 seems as like customers might be better off deploying an uninstall for the .msi variant, and installing the .exe variant instead:
3.0.21 x64 msi release - The VideoLAN Forums
MSI Release of 3.0.21 - The VideoLAN Forums
VLC 3.0.21 Windows MSI installer missing from release (#28677) · Issues · VideoLAN / VLC · GitLab
Regards,
Raunak

General Questions (Free Home Updater) / Re: portable apps
Last post by hellengenie - November 12, 2024, 04:08:08 AMQuote from: Phoneios on November 01, 2024, 07:29:45 AMWith due pleasure, I installed v5. I now wonder if PatchMyPC managing my portable apps folder also includes the subfolders therein.I had seen that before.
edit: I now see that when I select 'portable' applications my subfolders are not visible. To keep a somewhat larger collection of portable apps organized it is really necessary to group them into categories. This seems like a very desirable feature, I'll also post in Feature Requests.
