Of course. It's just when I have doubts I start to look into the topic
myself and get the facts.

I'm a consultant..

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 J

Just have to manually create your detection rules, etc.  Works for me too.

I haven't had any issues with the script installer method on applications...
It works well with our Winbatch scripts!

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.

 

Thanks,

Two main choices:

 

1.       Old school - Use Compliance Settings (DCM) to detect whether
present and install if not (that's way oversimplifying it)

2.       New school - Move it to the new application model and rely upon the
Detection Method

Not sure how some of you would deal with this type of situation, but it
seems like I missed a step.

 

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.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Kevin Johnston
