Custom Config for PatchMyPC App Installs??

[PC096]

Hi

Just wondering are there Custom config files we can upload into the Application\Package for installs?? so we can point the install command to a custom config file?? not talking about pre\post config script, but action custom settings for certain application install>?>?

Hi,

Depending on the customizing you want to achieve, you can use the postscript to add the config file and then reference it with a script.

Did you have an example of what you are trying to achieve?

Eg Microsoft Sysmon...

We run install command

Sysmon64.exe -i "PATH_TO_CONFIG_FILE"

Would we just add the config file to pre install script???

-i "PATH_TO_CONFIG_FILE"

You could add that to the right click option modify command line

-i "PATH_TO_CONFIG_FILE"

You could add that to the right click option modify command line

will this UNC-Path to configfile then copyed by pmpc to the client within the deployment?

yes it will for alle that ask later,

user command line to write the parameters and use then the pre/post script to only add a file, and thats it

Yes, many applications allow using custom configuration files to streamline the installation process with predefined settings. You can often pass these files as parameters during the installation command, particularly with MSI files where you can specify a transform file (MST) for custom settings using a command like msiexec /i application.msi TRANSFORMS=custom.mst. Some applications support config files in formats like JSON, XML, or YAML, which can be placed in specific directories or specified in the install command. If you're using deployment software like SCCM or Intune, these platforms typically allow configuration files to be included in the installation package, making it easier for consistent application setup across devices.

To manage the installation of applications with consistent settings across multiple devices, you must use configuration files and custom settings. With MSI files, you can apply MST (Microsoft Transform) files to customize installation settings using the msiexec /i application.msi TRANSFORMS=custom.mst command, adjusting parameters such as installation paths and user permissions. Many applications also support configuration files (JSON, XML, or YAML) that allow you to set predefined parameters, either by placing the file in a specific directory or referencing it during installation with a command. Contact the right guys, I when I ordered convert wordpress site to react they helped me a lot. Tools like SCCM or Intune make this even easier by allowing these configurations to be included in the deployment package, ensuring consistency of configuration across all devices. This approach is especially useful in large-scale environments where standardized deployments can save time and reduce configuration errors.
