Antidote is a very commun application used in most of the schools in Quebec, Canada. A lot of enterprises use it too. Its a powerfull French and English auto-corrector. Most of our clients asks if this product is available with Patch My PC. In some case, Its a decisive element to go or not with Patch my PC.
Installing Antidote can be complex, as it involves extracting and deploying multiple MSI packages, applying MST transform files, and managing MSP update patches in a specific sequence. Administrators must also generate configuration files using the Multi‑User Manager. For this reason, we recommend leveraging our Custom Apps feature, which is better suited to applications that require customer‑specific configurations and scripted installation processes.
I dont know if this will help but here is a snippet of my PSADT script that i use to install Antidote. Maybe it can spark some solutions :) https://github.com/JWPoly/Work-In-progress/blob/main/Snippet_Antidote_Install_PSADT.ps1
I was on a call with PMPC about how to move my PSADT of Antidote to PMPC cloud and she sent me here :)
Hi !
Thank you for considering the app. Antidote 12 have been released a few months ago, perhaps you should check this version instead of 11.

If this app is complex to deploy due to having to customise multiple MSIs and install in a specific order, there may still be scope to add just the updates only here, e.g:
Antidote: “Antidote 11”
French module: “Antidote 11 - Module français”
English module: “Antidote 11 - English module”
Connectix, which provides connectors for integrations: “Antidote - Connectix 11”
I will change the status of this to 'Considering' until we've had a chance to re-review this.
Hi !
I wonder if you could reconsider adding Druide Antidote to PMPC, since the Publisher can now handle "Patch My PC defined pre/post scripts" to install additionnal MSI and "Add MST transformation file" to customize the installation ?
Here is the documentation for the version 11 :

And the page where you can download the updates :

From reading this document it seems several MSIs live within the EXE provider by the vendor. Their script in the same link also covers removal of previous major versions, and also installing all of the MSIs in a particular order. This is generally behaviour you would expect from a single installer, itself.
Note: the vendor seems to require customers to create transformation files as well.
At this time we require single file installers that must provide controls for silent installation and reboot behaviour. The Patch My PC Publisher does not yet have the capability to perform so much pre-processing server and client side.
We would surely like it too!
Great for our high school too ;-)
Will be great to have this too for our company :)
