Hello Thwack, I have been using Patch manager for a couple of months now but I would like to know if there is any best practice or process documented for Publishing and deploying Third Party .exe applications. I have done this before many times with .msi files which are easy but with .exe files it appears there is a bit…
We use Avigilon as our NVR solution corporate wide. Since there are a lot of people in the company who use the client software to view live video and/or recordings I have been trying to use Patch Manager to push out updates to the client.

I am trying to deploy a Third-Party Exe installer to every desktop, regardless if the previous version is installed or not. (It's McAfee Agent 4.8 if it matters.) Overview of my current setup: Prereq: when either ProcArch=x86 or ProcArch=x64 Command Line Install I have the content on my network: download URL:…

The one thing I could not reasonably test there was Flash because the version that comes with the Eval version is quite old, and I'm not a fan of reinventing the wheel, so I didn't make my own package.
