New in Patch My PC 4.0.1.4 (Mar 25, 2018)

  • Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where 7-Zip wouldn’t be detected on x86 machines
  • Improvements
  • We will now use the EXE or MSI installer for 7-Zip based on the method used originally to install 7-Zip. Prior to this release, we would always use the MSI. This would successfully update 7-Zip to the latest version but the EXE install information would still remain in the registry in some instances.
  • We will now use the EXE or MSI installer for Inkscape based on the method used originally to install Inkscape. Prior to this release, we would always use the MSI. This would successfully update Inkscape to the latest version but the EXE install information would still remain in the registry in some instances.
  • We will now attempt to auto uninstall Inkscape prior to performing the latest versions installation. Inkscape doesn’t perform an in-place upgrade and requires an uninstall before the latest version can be installed. This would cause the update to cancel out with a 1638 error code meaning “Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.”

New in Patch My PC 4.0.1.3 (Mar 21, 2018)

  • Fixed a bug in version 4.0.1.0 where application would be skipped for installation when Patch My PC Updater was run using /s or /auto
  • Fixed an issue where application groups would be colored green even if no applications were installed.

New in Patch My PC 4.0.1.0 (Mar 19, 2018)

  • Improvements:
  • Application Checkbox Context Menu
  • The “Disable auto updating of this app” has been renamed to “Disable scanning for this app”. We will now completely skip scanning of the application when this is enabled. Previously, this setting would just not auto check the application if it was outdated and it would still be listed in the right textbox and the checkbox would be colored if installed.
  • Added a new context item to “Disable silent installation for this app“. This will allow more granular control compared to the global option to disable silent install for all applications that is currently available in the options menu.
  • Added a new context menu item “Disable auto updating for this app“. This setting will make it so Patch My PC Updater does’t auto check any outdated application on startup. The application will still be listed in the right textbox and the color for the installed status will show for the checkbox.
  • Application Grouping Hamburger Menu
  • Add a new item “Un-Check All Apps“
  • Added a new item “Check All Apps“. This setting is only visible when download only mode is enabled.
  • Application groups will now be colored based on the compliance for all apps within the group. This is be similar to the application grouping headers in the application list and how they are color coded by compliance. This will allow you to easily jump to outdated application groups from the context menu.
