Patch My PC Publisher Releases

This release contains a variety of features, improvements, and fixes, as noted below.

This will be made available via the self-update channel over the coming days. You can upgrade in place now by downloading the latest MSI installer.

Features

  • Include server name in Publisher upgrade notification email and Teams/Slack notification.

Improvements

  • Adding German and Dutch translations to Manage Conflicting Processes
  • Intune Filter viewing and configuration is now available in all instances of managing Intune Win32 assignments in the Publisher.
  • All setting backups are now in a .CAB format. The import setting option now allows for .XML or .CAB import to ensure we support importing older setting files. 
  • The Delete desktop shortcut… right-click option now removes shortcuts from the user desktop for user-based applications.
  • The SMS provider button is now highlighted in the WSUS options if the SMS provider is not configured.
  • Updated default Manage Conflicting Processes banner.
  • ConfigMgr operating system requirements are now recreated when an application is updated. This ensures new operating systems such as Windows 11 or Server 2022 are added as applications are updated in place. 

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where scriptrunner may fail to find the uninstall string in the registry for some products. 
  • Fixed a bug where scriptrunner may fail to validate an installation after the installer completes causing a 3-minute delay after the installation completes. 
  • Fixed a bug where Pause does not account for postponed binaries. If there is an existing postponed binary it will publish even if a pause is set.
  • Fixed a bug where some publishing summarization info was miscounted in the PatchMyPC.log file.
  • Fixed a bug where the Publisher would leave behind an empty folder when Publishing a ConfigMgr application and the download fails. 
  • Fixed a bug where a version number would be appended to the current ConfigMgr application instead of the retaining application if the download fails. This bug affected customers who had the ‘Do not include version…’ option configured as well as the ‘Retain…’ option. 
  • Fixed a bug where an empty Intune tenant is written to settings causing errors when the Publisher attempts to query the invalid tenant.
  • Fixed the layout of the Add MST transformation file form.
  • Fixed a bug where we may fail to query for Distribution Point groups if the name or description is DBNull instead of an empty string. 
  • Fixed a bug where the ConfigMgr SUP sync would not start after a Patch My PC Sync if only updates using local content were published. 
  • Fixed a bug where the Intune auto-publishing may fail in some cases when right-click options are configured.
