The October 13th update for VLC Media Player (3.0.19) is detecting as being installed on computers that are below version, and thus not actually updating them. We have ~ 250 systems which ConfigMgr is showing as compliant with the update, but all of them are on 3.0.17 or below.
The stand-alone application version of VLC 3.0.19 seems to install and detect correctly.
PatchMyPC-SoftwareDetectionScript.log seems to indicate that the detection script is still looking for 3.0.17
Hi EricS,
Thanks for reporting this.
This issue will require further investigation, can you please open a support case with us?
I checked the applicability rules for this update, and they look correct.
I'm curious which VLC update you are deploying - x64/x86 and MSI/EXE.
I'm also curious to look at the VLC version installed on a device which is listed as already compliant.
Can you please run this script on such a device?

It will export a CSV file with app information.
It will allow us to verify the applicability rules for the VLC update.
I suspect you found the issue! After reviewing, I found we are pulling the MSI version for the full install, but had the EXE version selected for updates. I've corrected that, and I'll try again.
That's definitely a step forward, thank you for the update!
If you run into any other issues, let us know!
That did resolve the issue. Thank you!
