We are new to Applications (as opposed to Packages), and are trying to create the following workflow we had working as a Package, to an Application. We are using SCCM 2012 R2.
We need to in "one felt swoop" uninstall a program (the older version) and then (re)install the new version. The software doesn't support an upgrade. Additionally, the software isn't MSI based but .exe based. We can't wait to run separate deployments and filter the computers out by the collection, since our users require this software.
As a package, we did the following:
ProgramA: setup.exe /uninstall
ProgramB: setup.exe /install
We then configured a deployment for ProgramB but had it depend on ProgramA. This way the uninstall ran first, followed by the install.
Is there a way to configure such a thing using Applications?
Thanks.
