| Which Product is this Request for (New Application Request Only) | Patch My PC |
The Timetabling Solutions installer uses a MSI with an embedded EXE installer which is highly unusual...usually it's the reverse with a MSI embedded in an EXE. This causes issues with prematurely exiting the installer process and causing script runner to think the install is already complete before the extracted EXE installer is finished running. Also, the uninstall is problematic as the extracted EXE overwrites the MSI SystemComponent registry key and leaves that reg key behind even though the application is uninstalled resulting in detection failures because the detection script still sees an entry in the registry for the DisplayName and DisplayVersion for Timetabling Solutions.
I'm marking the request as "Future Consideration" for now. It may be possible in the future when we have PSADT integration and can leverage some custom scripting functionality to deal with the unusual install & uninstall behavior of this application.
