The ability to add custom requirement rules directly in https://portal.patchmypc.com
Can we add a $env:ApplicationVersion variable or something?
Because Adobe Reader Update-Only can only update the latest major version (i.e. v26)
And the full installer only supports Available|Install Required deployments.
The workaround currently:
Add "Adobe EXE Update" Deployment that assigns the exe Installer as required to all devices.
Add Requirements Script like the pre-defined one from the MSP Update-Only that checks for a version below v26 being already present.
The Problem:
I would need to update that script to the newest version (like v27, or v26.500 or whenever they decide it's time for a new full installer)
If the script could reference the current version from the package that it's running for... I could basically make my own Update-Only deployment.
(An alternative, if not implemented in this feature: Merge the exe-installer as pre-install script into the MSP version or something like that?)
Unfortunately they don't always get carried over to new app versions. We've had this happen on multiple occasions in the first half of this year and now again at the beginning of October, where something went wrong while PMPC was updating Google Chrome. This resulted in Chrome app losing the Get-NotInstalledRequirement script, which creates a lot of noise for thousands of users.
@Liviu it would be great if we could add them in the portal so they would also cary forward on the update only deployments in addtion to the avaiable/required ones.
Currently, the Cloud Portal doesn't support this option, but if you manually add custom requirement rules to "Available" or "Required" deployments in Intune, those rules will automatically carry over to new app versions.
