When you need help and they have the knowledge, I trust those that we pay to give us the best possible solution... I guess not.
But I took the same installer he mad as a Program and in 20 minutes made it an App and tested it and it works exactly the way I wanted it... I just needed a push in the right direction :) From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Roland Janus Sent: Monday, August 26, 2013 4:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] RE: Dealing with Software reinstalls You trust consultants... :) From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kevin Johnston Sent: Montag, 26.

It works well with our Winbatch scripts! On Mon, Aug 26, 2013 at 2:38 PM, Kevin Johnston <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Okay. So the reason it is a Program is because it is running a vbs script to call the installer (so it notifies the user, then when they click OK it installs then lets them know it's done). I was told that if I am running any scripts I should use Program not Application. And since this installs for the User as the user this seems like the logical step. I don't have compliance ready yet, but it looks like I may have to rethink this deployment.

I have an outlook plugin that is deployed to all users (it is the design of the plugin) not devices. So when a user logs onto their machine after we deployed it, the script would run, they would install it and everything is great. But then an issue comes up, the user uninstalls it using Control Panel - Programs and Features cause the y want to reinstall it but the program will not re-run and I assume it is because CM12 already knows it was successful the first time. This is a Package not an Application, so I am wondering if there is a way for CM12 to detect that it is not installed and re-run it. I looked through the settings and I don't see anything.
