Hi,
We are using SCCM 2012 sp1 cu2 and Windows 7 on the client. We just have the on SCCM server and multiple DPs, which are delivering Appv 4.6 sp2 applications to the client. We are targeting user install by making it available for them to install and have the application load into cache before installing.
I created the new appv app and selected the old one to be superceed, and I left the uninstall unticked, (The old App didn't work so it's not an upgrade, but should be a replace)
I then added the user to the targeted AD group and it appeared in the Application Catalog, so I installed it. This all went fine and the installation went through without problems. However, when I looked at the properties of the shortcuts in appv manager and the registry, they were pointing to the old application cahe, with any extra shortcuts pointing to the sccm cache for the new application.
So it didn't really do what I wanted it to do which is repoint all shortcuts to the new applications cache location, (which makes sense since I am using download and execute and I should have chosen to uninstall the previous version first).
So the new deployment seems to be in a bit of a mess now according to SCCM, since the older version seems to have taken over the properties of the new application for uninstalls and reinstalls.
I've managed to remove the application and taken the user out of the AD group, so it doesn't appear in Application Catalog or on the start menu any more, but it does still appear in Software Catalog as an available install. Also when I logon to the machine I get a notification that there is available software to install (which would be the case).
How can I remove this from the Software Catalog since it is no longer made available for this user? - neither the old or new app is associated to the user any more (I can click on install and it will install the app successfully).
In future I will definately tick the uninstall box!
also if I did want to do an upgrade in future to replace one appv with an updated version, would I be able to do this by leaving the superceeded uninstall unticked and should the shortcuts all point to the new cache location (didn't work as above, but since this is replacing a new appv app with one that didn't work, then the version numbers in the osd file are the same), or is there something the appv osd file should contain which says it is an upgraded app?, or doesn't the upgrade option work with Appv 4.6 and is fixed in Appv 5?)
Thanks
Jaz
