[DellCommandUpdate] 4.6 is the last version #138

Closed flcdrg closed 1 year ago

flcdrg commented 1 year ago

As per https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-au/000177325/dell-command-update

NOTE: Dell Command | Update Classic interface is not supported from version 4.7 onwards and the older Dell Command | Update Classic clients are upgraded to Dell Command | Update version 4.7 UWP

Probably need to mark this package as 'done' with a note for people to switch to https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/DellCommandUpdate-uwp if they're on Windows 10+

I would like to remove the old dcu package with msiexec /x {GUID} before installing the new one. I tried without success to find the GUID of dcu 4.6 classic. Could anyone point out the GUID or how to find it in the Windows registry?

Did you try choco uninstall dellcommandupdate ?

IMWS-User commented 1 year ago

No, I’ll try.

Nevertheless: The dellcommandupdate-uwp package installs without GUI. I’ve tried with choco install and double-clicking in windows explorer. Is this missing GUI intended when installing the uwp-version?

I use dellcommandupdate-uwp myself. Definitely has a GUI (looks basically the same as the non-UWP one as far as I can tell) image

Don't think you can have both versions installed at the same time, so make sure any existing dellcommandupdate(s) are uninstalled first.

Hi David,

on one WIN 11 computer I did „choco uninstall dellcommandupdate” and „choco uninstall dellcommandupdate-uwp” Both commands resulted in “packages not installed”

In “Settings -> installed apps” there was a “Dell Command | update “ shown as installed.

Only after deinstalling that app manually, I was able to install “choco install dellcommandupdate-uwp” successfully.

This time with GUI.

On another computer:

choco uninstall dellcommandupdate

choco install dellcommandupdate-uwp

Resulted in a working dcu-4.6-uwp.

Nevertheless, during installation a terminal popped up, asking for a “C” to continue. (See attachachment) After some time (appr. 15 second) the window closed without an entered “C”.

For unattended installation, the windows should not pop up.

Having existing versions of dcu installed is not something the package can handle.

The attachment didn't come through. Can you post it via github.com rather than email - I'd be curious to see that.

My high school German is too rusty, but Google Translate saved the day!

That is a strange one. It's a CMD process (not PowerShell), so I'm pretty sure it isn't Chocolatey doing that. It might be something launched by the DCU installer itself, in which case it might be something to take up (or search for) with Dell.

IMWS-User commented 1 year ago

I have to apology for posting this error. It is not generated by chocolatey. It was a post-install script triggering dcu on command line. Sorry.
