I ended up posting another request for this under https://ideas.patchmypc.com/ideas/PATCHMYPC-I-5325
All of the details being discussed here are exactly what I found as well. Today we use a PowerShell script as the installation method when deploying from SCCM. It does include having to remove the previous version before installing the update as mentioned here. I wonder if doing similar to what we do is possible to build a base app for this? Subsequent updates would have to be done in the fashion similar most likely - we currently stop the sysmon service and then run the sysmon64.exe with the -u force arguments. After this, we proceed to install the current version of Sysmon. It would be nice to automate this more than downloading and manually creating the packages. Is there now way for PatchMyPC to package something similar?
Did a base app ever get created for this?
We have shipped this app today. Please note that due to this app not making any entries into the Add/Remove Programs Registry keys, we are only able to support it as a WSUS/ConfigMgr update at this time, not a standalone app. Also note that because this product requires the previous version to be removed before installing the latest, the updates will fail in SCUP or if published through ConfigMgr in-console publishing.

This looks to be do-able. I'll take a look!
Sysmon64.exe -i -n -accepteulainstalls Sysmon as a service
Recently updated. Similar to other MS supported products packaged by PMPC.

This can be installed by using sysmon.exe -I -xmlfile
It installs itself with when using the argument "-i"
We only support products with on installer. There's no way we can install standalone binary files.
Is that an installer though or a the actual program in portable format?
Ah! Then u can use these links instead :
x64: https://live.sysinternals.com/Sysmon64.exe
x86: https://live.sysinternals.com/Sysmon.exe
Ah, so this product only comes via ZIP? There's a good chance we won't be able to support this product in that case. It needs to be available for direct download via EXE, MSI, or MSP. SCCM and SCUP don't support ZIP extraction before publishing an update.
Sure. Pretty easy and straight forward product. You just need to unzip the download befor install

Sorry, nothing yet, would you be able to provide the following details if you are familiar with the product? https://patchmypc.com/forum/index.php?topic=2790.0
Any progress on this?
