Tableau Desktop

Greetings!

I'd like to request Tableau Desktop. Reader is already supported, so this shouldn't be that different.

1. Product: Tableau Desktop | Vendor: Tableau

2. x64: 2019.2.2 | (No x86)

3. x64: 2019.2.1 | (No x86)

4. My switches: /quiet /norestart ACCEPTEULA=1 AUTOUPDATE=0 DESKTOPSHORTCUT=0 REMOVEINSTALLEDAPP=1

5. Link to download page

6. Release notes for 2019.2.2

 

I currently have Tableau Desktop deployed as an application in our environment, but as often as they update and as painful as the deployment process was to figure out, I'd love to have this in PatchMyPC. I struggled to get Desktop to play nice during the installation and discovered that if Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x64) is installed, Desktop cannot install correctly. Therefore, I deploy Desktop via batch file that uninstalls VC2017, installs desktop, then re-installs VC2017.

Batch file for installing 2019.2.1:

REM Uninstalls Microsoft Visual C++ 2017
vc_redist.x64.exe /uninstall /quiet /norestart

timeout /t 5

TableauDesktop-64bit-2019-2-1.exe /quiet /norestart /log "C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau 2019.2.1\Tableau_2019.2.1_install_log" INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau 2019.2.1" ACCEPTEULA=1 AUTOUPDATE=0 DESKTOPSHORTCUT=0 REMOVEINSTALLEDAPP=1

timeout /t 30

REM installs Microsoft Visual C++ 2017
vc_redist.x64.exe /install /quiet /norestart

This may not be a problem for your methods, but I wanted to let you know. I spent hours getting it to work, would love to save other people some trouble if possible! Any questions, just ask, thanks!

    I need 19.4 updated in our environment until they can be manually upgraded.

    We actually didn't add Tableau Desktop 2019, we added 2020. Specifically: Tableau Desktop 20 20.3.29466 (x64)

    I know that Tableau Desktop 2019 was just shipped. Is there a plan to bring in the latest version?

    I just wanted to let you all know we haven't forgotten about this request. We are working through some others at the moment that more unique customers are following. If any others come across this idea, please vote it up if it's one you would like to see added.
