How to deal with Application version in intune and company portal?
Hi,
How to deal with application versions in intune which end users can deploy via Company portal?
For example when a new version is available for ApplicationX, we need to add this new version to the company portal so they can install it.
What i thougt was: Create a new intunewin package for the new version and add it to intune so user can install it from the company portal. but if users allready have the old version installed and they install the new version(company portal says succesfull), the old version is still installed and not the new version.
Arjanver How are your detection rules designed? When they match, Intune will think the application is already installed. Depending on what app you're installing, you can pick a variety of detection methods : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/apps-win32-app-management#step-4-detection-rules
- I'm not a pro.....sorry about that.
But i thought detection rules are used when the application is installed from the company portal it then checks if the path/file/registry key is present and then if gives the successful install status.
So this applicationX version 1 has a detection rule configured with a File rule.
So the applicationX version 2 i could use the File rule with the String(version) method and Operator(Equal?) and the value the version of the new or old application version?
I'm trying to understand the process. does the new version needs to detect the old version and then installs the new version? or does i just need to detect the new version of the application?
Thanks all- Sadly, that’s the case here. Take a look at this user voice: https://microsoftintune.uservoice.com/forums/291681-ideas/suggestions/38707012-automatically-update-installed-available-win32
That describes your problem right ? You should figure out a way to let de app detect a version number of your app. If it’s not detected, your app will install/update.
- Please have a look into step by step configuration for MDM and Intune Policies deployment
Saurabh0711 Hi, Thanks, but i don't see how this video is about my problem. what i'm missing here?
Arjanver Application version and deployment is covered in the same
When you are deploying any application in properties of the app for any store you need to publish along with the version.
Arjanver Maybe using a requirement rule can help you with this as a temporary solution till something better is available in Intune. I described it in this article https://www.inthecloud247.com/how-to-update-win32-applications-with-microsoft-intune/
