Greetings!
I'd like to request Tableau Prep. Reader is already supported, so this shouldn't be that different.
1. Product: Tableau Prep | Vendor: Tableau
2. x64: 2019.2.3 | (No x86)
3. x64: 2019.2.2 | (No x86)
4. My switches: /quiet /norestart DESKTOPSHORTCUT=0 ACCEPTEULA=1
5. Link to download page
6. Release notes for 2019.2.3
I currently have Tableau Prep 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 Prep 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 Prep via batch file that uninstalls VC2017, installs desktop, then re-installs VC2017.
Batch file for installing 2019.2.3:
REM Uninstalls Microsoft Visual C++ 2017vc_redist.x64.exe /uninstall /quiet /norestart
timeout /t 5
TableauPrep-2019-2-3.exe /quiet /norestart DESKTOPSHORTCUT=0 ACCEPTEULA=1
timeout /t 5
REM installs Microsoft Visual C++ 2017vc_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!
Andrew,
I spoke to my team, and given that Tableau Prep has similar versioning as
Tableau Desktop, we would say yes to splitting up the product updates by
subversion.

Hello Everyone, with the release of Tableau 2022, we are wondering if Tableau Prep needs to be split up by version like we have Tableau Desktop split up?
2021.1
2021.2
2021.3
2021.4
etc.
Planning to have this out with our next catalog release, likely on 12/21.
Any update son when this might be available via PatchMyPC? I am working on fixing things related to the Log4j2 vulnerabilities and will have to manually package this otherwise.
Additionally, Tableau have taken down all the old versions thanks to log4j... Would someone be able to send over an older version of this software? https://patchmypc.com/how-to-share-large-files
Looking to add this app to the catalog, this looks more like Tableau Reader where it can be upgraded through the major versions just fine? Or is it more like Tableau Desktop where the version needs to match a particular server 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.
