How to deal with Application version in intune and company portal?
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
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.Thanks, nice to see i'm not alone with this one;)
But i have this detection rule for the new win32 package and it seems to work.
every month comes a new version.......i have something to do then....
I can recycle this app instance in intune and upload the new intunewin file and change the version match the new version or do i need to make a complete new application instance in intune and delete the old one?Arjanver When you deploy a new app, the users has to go into the CP and install the new app.
To be honest, I'm not sure what happens when you just replace the intunewin file, and adjust the detection method to the new version. I assume that the app will try to update/install, but I'm not sure.
