Working with RCT Patching. RMS 5.11.2604.1403

We need to modify some application installation strings for our environment.. like ya do. Normally, I would say we just need to append the install command to add what we need But our configurations conflict with the default installation command from RCT Patching. Appending just adds the duplicate/conflicting value properties.

Example Firefox with append

“.\Firefox Setup 151.0.exe” /S /DesktopShortcut=false /PrivateBrowsingShortcut=false /MaintenanceService=false /PreventRebootRequired=false /DesktopShortcut=true MaintenanceService=true

If we replace instead of append RCT Patching does not include the installation file in the command. So deployment process needs to be modified each time to include the name of the install file.

Example Firefox with replace

/S /DesktopShortcut=true /PrivateBrowsingShortcut=false /MaintenanceService=true /PreventRebootRequired=false

How do I make it not do that? I want the same configurations every time the deployment process is run for that application and for it to automatically add the new installation file.

“.\Firefox Setup 151.0.exe” /S /DesktopShortcut=true /PrivateBrowsingShortcut=false /MaintenanceService=true /PreventRebootRequired=false

I talked to the AM team (internal support) this morning and they like the idea and suggest that you create a idea on our portal page. https://ideas.recastsoftware.com/

If you can post the link to the idea here, I will make sure that I give it to the PM of that team when I see him next week.
