Home Updater: General Support and Troubleshooting / Re: Can't update after doing a...
Last post by imogenledner - August 14, 2026, 12:51:31 AMQuote from: Black Tiger on May 31, 2026, 06:35:50 AMSeems this is a bug and can be reproduced.
1.) Open Patch my PC and see which program's can be updated. I normally have like around 6 to 7.
2.) I like to update some, like Chrome and Thunderbird via the application itself. So while PMPC is open, I open Chrome, update it, then Thunderbird same way and maybe another program.
3.) After that is done I use the "rescan" option in PMPC and the updated programs are not shown as outdated anymore. Now I click to select the remaining applications which should be updated.
4.) After doing that, the update butten is blanked out, I can only click to uninstall the selected applications. This is odd because some version I always worked like that and there was no issue.
5 letter words) When you close PMPC and then open it again and then click to select the outdated apps, then I can select to update the selected apps.
Conclusion, something is preventing to update apps one select after doing a rescan where some apps are updated externally.
The fact that restarting Patch My PC restores the Update button makes it look more like a UI/state issue than a problem with the detected app versions. Hopefully someone can confirm it on their setup too.

Last post by Michael (Patch My PC) - August 13, 2026, 07:00:10 PMFor ConfigMgr, ScriptRunner can use the ID's to pull some information from the ccm client for additional information, but it's not strictly necessary. Intune deployments don't do any of that, so nothing really beyond that for the actually installation.
ConfigMgr App publishing will also use the values in the package.xml for doing some checking on what specific version is created.

Last post by steadybird - August 13, 2026, 05:23:24 PMThanks!
Re the notification bug. Yeah I think I spotted that previously running a PMPC package where the conflicting process was running on multiple users. I ended up killing the processes manually and running again and it worked fine.
Re the ID's. PMPC desktop publisher and it was 7-Zip by memory. Not a custom app.
Am I correct in understanding your response that this is mainly a logging thing? Just a plain text thing used to quote into the log files for troubleshooting purposes?
Or is there some functionality impacted beyond that?

Last post by Michael (Patch My PC) - August 13, 2026, 03:18:40 PMThe AppID and UpdateID are mostly used to correlate installations with the specific versions of the product. And as you've noticed, there is no direct communication between scriptrunner and Intune. The Packages are self contained. You'll notice the values are used in the log as well.
Are the Intune Apps/Updates you are copying built by the Publisher, or our Cloud Portal? I ask because you'll notice our packages from the Cloud Portal can use a new command line parameter that has configurations built into it. So if you just run the patchmypc-scriptrunner.exe only, it's possible some of your configurations are not being passed to the 'installation'.
For the MCP notifications, they are only shown if the process is running. If no user has the app open, then the installation will continue and run.
With multi user devices, it will show the notification to which ever user has the process open. But I think we have an active bug right now that if more than one user has the process open, the installation will be skipped.

Last post by Nithin (Patch My PC) - August 12, 2026, 06:54:25 AMHey KRGU,
Please note that there was a hash change by the vendor for the installer recently and we have updated it in the catalogue.
Please re-publish the product and let us know how it goes.

Last post by steadybird - August 11, 2026, 07:17:41 PMCurrently on our servers we are manually installing software to them as our CIO did not want to deprecated WSUS and we didnt get budget approval for SCCM.
This has often simply just been us exporting a copy of an APP package from Intune, copying to the target device and running the script runner exe as admin. Works well enough and also means we have a consistent experience for things like user notifications, conflicts etc. etc.
Though looking at the XML with the packages configs I am a little curious how the ApplicationID and UpdateID fields are used by the script runner if at all.
The software appears to install perfectly fine on these non-intune managed devices and I am not aware of any direct upstream connectivity from the script runner to the Intune graph from the target endpoints.
Does anyone know how these values are utilised if at all?
As I was thinking of user notifications just made me wonder on a second thing...
When running the script runner as an admin, or as system, how many users get the notifications? If its a multi-user device do all users get the notification or only a subset?

We do have the below blog post from when Enterprise App Management was released a few years ago. Bryan does a great job comparing things.
