What we've found through testing is that applying the MSP doesn't seem to play well if the Design Review application is running - it updates however it also forces a restart, completely ignoring the restart suppression options used in the command. We've found the safest approach is to only attempt the upgrade if DesignReview.exe is NOT running, hence why we were hoping to use the "Skip installation when the application in in use" option from the PatchMyPC GUI. In our case, we're updating from Ver: 14.0.0.177 > 14.0.1.179 and the cmd we're using is: msiexec /update ADR-2018-Hotfix-1.msp /qn RESTART=ReallySuppress /l*v c:\temp\DesignReview_update.log (happy to provide the logs if that's helpful).
As far as the Pre script, all I had in mind was something like:
We've recently attempted to use this and found running instances forcible restart the device, even though the install appears to be using RESTART=ReallySuppress. This is not the case if the application is not in use. We were hoping to work around this simply by using the "Skip installation when the application in in use" option, however this is unavailable for this application. We then figured we'd use our own pre-update script to check for the running process and return a non-zero result, however that's also unavailable. Any chance we could get more of the options available or open up the pre/post script options so we can manage this ourselves? Thanks!
we need the full app :)
Its only avaiable as update bot there is no app to ditirbute
Will this ever be added as an APPLICATION in addition to updates?
Hi Justin, thought I'd give this a 2020 bump along ;)
Here's some screeners showing the options are greyed out. We've not seeing this with other applications but can't say we've look extensively.
Hey Justin. Thanks for the quick response!

Let me know if you need anything else.

What options would you like to have?
