Hi there
I'm working with SCCM 2012 SP1 and creating application (not packages). I need an application to be installed on the user's computer if another application has been installed. I'm aware of the Detection Method and Requirements settings, but let me give you an example to illustrate what I need and then I'll explain the problem. Again, this is just an example:
1. Adobe Acrobat X Professional
2. Adobe Acrobat X Standard
3. Adobe Acrobat X Update (10.1.3)
The above are 3 separate applications created in SCCM. The first two will install version 10.0.0. They are deployed to two separate "Device Collections" as "Available".
The 3rd application is to update either of the first 2 applications to version 10.1.3. This application has Requirement set to check if either of those 2 are installed or not. The requirements arenot set to auto install. This application is deployed to both collections mentioned above and it's deployed as "Required".
What I'm expecting is that IF the client installs either of the first 2 applications, the 3rd one should automatically kick in (since it's deployed as required) and install.
What I'm seeing instead is that the 3rd application status in Software Centre just changes to "Past due - will be installed". And it doesn't seem to install on the computer. I've already played with deployment schedule (date/time) for the 3rd application but that didn't make any difference.
How can I get the 3rd application to start installing as soon as either of the first two applications are installed?
