Last post by iamr00t - November 12, 2025, 02:38:51 PM

I personally appreciate Patch My PC for working around their lack of standards. I have be trying to work around this for now with the detection mod and I noticed if I try to replace the MSI with a newer version or create a second custom app for GP, I am told that there is already 3.2.8 installer. Even that would be useful, as now I need to completely delete the app from the Portal, Publisher, and app catalog and remake it (and somehow retain my additiona command switches). Tips on that are welcome as well. Either way, thanks for coming up with good workarounds.

You are correct, Palo should be versioning their software correctly, and we recommend customers reach out to Palo about this. Until the installers change, we are planning to implement some improvements to detection for these apps anyway.

Just to keep the responsibility on the right side, shoudn't Palo Alto be making these properly versioned? It seems like Palo Alto should be releasing their products with standard dot releases, and Patch My PC should need to work around their lack of proper version control. Am I wrong, here?

Home Updater: Report Detection Issues or Installation Issues / Inkscape 1.4.0 to 1.4.2: Silen...

Hi all,

using Home Updater v5.3.3.0 the update from Inkscape 1.4.0 to 1.4.2 fails.

Here's the relevant part of the log:

1)

Clicking "OK" does not trigger the uninstall, instead it leads to:

2)

After uninstalling 1.4.0 manually (over appwiz.cpl), Home Updater still detects Inkscape 1.4.0 and the update to 1.4.2 succeeds.

Last post by egulpen - November 10, 2025, 05:56:28 AM

After KeePass got updated to the latest version this month our users reported that they could not access the application anymore. Seems like the Start menu shortcut got removed.

New installation of the last MSI does create the shortcut so it seems it only gets removed when updating from a older version.

For now we re-created the shortcut manually for all our users as they were all not able to use the application.

Thank you @Raunak Desai (Patch My PC)  and thank you @Andrew Jimenez (Patch My PC) for helping out with this matter.
Finally I can get rid of the daily nag

And thank you for the tip regarding modifying the link - that will be added to my notes regarding manual downloads of software for PmP

Have a great day and take care!

Understood, that's an interesting idea for the Publisher to send notifications without actually syncing. We're looking at ways to keep the email and release notes automated and provide more information as well, so stay tuned for more info there in the coming weeks.

Here is the URL as well:
https://symless.com/synergy/download/package/synergy-personal-v1/windows-10/synergy_1.19.0_windows_x64.msi

If you have the file name, you can just replace it at the end of that link with future versions.

We get the version number from this API: https://api-functions.prod.a.symless.com/version
