    I think you should use either Win32 packages and keep on superceding the old one with a newer one and uninstalling the previous one. Or use MSI to update

Opps - I seemed to have totally missed that, thanks, shame you have to re-add the whole process just to change that part - will test it tomorrow.

    So changed the 'Install behavior' to 'System' and although Company Portal says it installed now

    When I looked at the user's Notepad++ folder it's still got the old version

    Directory of \\lap-840g7-0040\c$\Program Files\Notepad++

    16/07/2021 01:10 5,884,328 notepad++.exe
    and the current rolled-out version is 8.4
    08/12/2021 20:42 6,057,384 notepad++.exe

    so back to scratching my head again :smile:

      If you install the old version on a test machine using the same command-line followed by the new version, does it work there?

        Hi Harm_Veenstra 

        So I managed to install an older version of Notepad++ ok

        Then managed to get it updated by changing the Detection rule

        • Detection method:  String (version)
        • Operator:  Greater than or equal to
        • Value:  this I set to 8.4

        So, I'm wondering if I do ned to use the  "Supersedence" - as that's what I trying before.
        What I'd like to do is to use the "Supersedence" to enable updates (this is what I testing with  Notepad++) of other applications and don't want to keep changing the Detection values for every app.
