Hello,
I am trying to deploy a custom app and make it available to users of the Company Portal app. However, I need to ensure that the parameter "ALLUSERS=1" is used during the installation. When I set the assignment to "Required," the app installs correctly for all users. However, if I uninstall the app, change the assignment to "Required," and then manually trigger the installation from the Company Portal, the parameter is not applied. As a result, the app does not appear in "Add & Remove Programs," and the shortcuts on the Start Menu and Desktop are missing. I am doing something wrong?
Thanks for your help.

I assume you mean changing the assignment from "Required" to "Available"?
Either way, changing the assignment type shouldn't change the defined installation parameters.
Did you apply the 'ALLUSERS=1' parameter to the Custom Apps 'Silent Install Parameters' field? Or did you define it in the Deployments 'Install Parameters' field?
I would suggest submitting a support case and uploading the below logs for both Installation attempts so we can verify what parameters are getting used during each installation attempt.
- %ProgramData%\PatchMyPC\*
- This folder contains User based installation logs as well as notification settings
- %ProgramData%\PatchMyPCInstallLogs\*
- This will contain logs from individual application installers
- %ProgramData%\PatchMyPCIntuneLogs\*
- PatchMyPC-CustomSoftwareDetectionScript*.log
- PatchMyPC-CustomSoftwareUpdateDetectionScript*.log
- PatchMyPC-ScriptRunner*.log
- This may be found in [%ProgramData%\PatchMyPC\] if the Install was initiated by the user from Company Portal.
- PatchMyPC-SoftwareDetectionScript*.log
- PatchMyPC-SoftwareUpdateDetectionScript*.log
- %ProgramData%\Microsoft\IntuneManagementExtension\Logs\*
- AgentExecutor*.log
- AppActionProcessor*.log
- AppWorkload*.log
- IntuneManagementExtension*.log
- Win32AppInventory*.log
Hi Michael,

Yes, correct.

I did right-click on the Software Name within Publisher, then I used the "Modify command line" option and typed "ALLUSERS=1" under "Additional Argument". Is there a better way of doing it? Sorry, I'm new to this and I've just recently been involved in Deploying & Patching apps and I'm trying to get slightly better at it ;D .
Thanks.
You can disregard the logs I listed, I was assuming Intune for some reason.
The way you did it should be fine. Open a support ticket for sure as we'll need to look at the logs to see what is going on.
