Community Notes
Application management works best when we share what actually helped. The folks who fought through packaging issues, deployment quirks, and edge cases are saving you time by posting their notes here.
Repay that by sharing back—even small variations or tips help the next IT pro.
# MSI
msiexec /i product.msi /qn /norestart ALLUSERS=1
# EXE (common switches)
setup.exe /S /v"/qn /norestart"
# Winget (explicit silent)
winget install --id Vendor.App --exact --silent --source winget
# MSI by ProductCode
msiexec /x {PRODUCT-CODE-GUID} /qn /norestart
# Winget uninstall (match exact)

Set these policies during install; apply before first launch:
HKLM\Software\Vendor\App\Policy\DisableAutoUpdate=1 (DWORD)HKLM\Software\Vendor\App\Policy\TelemetryLevel=0 (DWORD)
Deploy a policy file to %ProgramData%\Vendor\App\policy.json:
DisableAutoUpdate: trueDefaultProfile: "Enterprise"TelemetryLevel: 0
Use a simple version compare in your detection rule:
[version](Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\Software\Vendor\App').Version -ge [version]'5.3.0'
What to post
- Install & uninstall commands you’ve verified in the field.
- PSADT or PowerShell snippets that solve real deployment problems.
- Customizations: registry keys, config files, command-line switches.
- Gotchas and edge cases—and how you worked around them.
- Short, focused notes—one topic per note keeps it skimmable.
