I'm assuming you followed this article?

I have no idea why the writer would recommend a TS over an Application or
Program. He mentions that a Program would likely fail on a 64-bit
machine---no idea where he's pulling that opinion from.


IMO, Applications are the best way to do 98% of software
installs/uninstalls in SCCM. This is mainly due to "detection methods".
With these you setup criteria for the app to check on the machine to detect
if the app is installed or not. It will keep running then  checking until
the app is either successfully installed or uninstalled (depending on which
action you are deploying to your collection), so it's not a one shot deal
like a Program or Task Sequence.

Also, did you test the command first?  Did you open Add/Remove and make
sure that KB# is listed in there?  How long have you been running it? It
may say 0% for a while until machines start sending their status updates.

If you decide to build and deploy an application for IE11, make sure you
test to be sure it successfully installs and uninstalls. For the uninstall
portion, It may be as simple as putting that command you have into a bat
file with some other things like taskkill.exe /im iexplore.exe /f to close
out IE before you uninstall it.  The log to see application
install/uninstall status is AppDiscovery.log and  AppEnforce.log.  There
are a lot of things you could do for criteria. I would start by pulling a
report in SCCM to see which versions IE11 are installed in your environment.

It's more work to do an Application, but when done right, the success rates
are usually extremely high.
