Conflicting Application Dependencies

Hi

Can't quite work out if the problem I have had on multiple occasions is by design, a bug or it just hasn't been considered by Microsoft in the development, any thoughts please?

I will explain the problem by example:

QuickTime 7.7 is a required deployment to all computers. Dependencies:

- Priority 1, Application Support 2.3, Auto Install: NoOR

- Priority 2, Application Support 3.1, Auto Install: Yes

iTunes 12 is available to all users. Dependencies:

Bonjour AND Mobile Device Supp AND Application Support 3.1 - all auto install: YES

Application Support 3.1 supersedes 2.3 and is set to uninstall before install. 

Only QuickTime and iTunes have required deployments, others don't.

The QuickTime previously only had the app support 2.3 dependency with auto install. Therefore all machines tested have app support 2.3, and have updated policy so should see 3.1 as the OR dependency.

Go to install iTunes 12 from the Catalog and it always fails evaluation, I believe it should pass fine but assume it fails because it would need to uninstall application support 2.3 which is a dependency of QuickTime, regardless of the fact it will install 3.1 which is also the OR dependency. I would hope it would be able to work this out.

Thanks
