To avoid duplicate entries in ARP:
Either add a value under the app in Uninstall (may be problematic) or do something like:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\PatchMyPC\InstallersARCH
AppGUID = <GUID>
Architecture = <ARCH>
This behaviour is not up to Patch My PC. We package the software installer(s) with the behaviour intended by the vendor.
Igor Pavlov, for instance, allows their MSI and EXE installers (x64 and x86) to install side by side. This means that 4 versions can be installed at the same time.
If you want to avoid this, ensure that:
you only deploy one version (MSI-x64 for instance) as the base install
you deploy all 4 versions as UpdateOnly. UpdateOnly is a win32 app with a Requirement Rule, and Intune will only install it if an older version installed by the same installer and architecture is present on the device. If the Requirement Rule returns True, the update applies. If it returns False it will be marked as "Not Applicable"
