SOLVED Update Power Bi Desktop over SCCM

[Strahinja JANACEK]

Hi all!
Anybody here, who was update to install the newest version of Power Bi Desktop on a client who has an older version of Power Bi Desktop?
I tried with task sequence. This is the configuration:
- First copy the PowerBi_Desktop.exe to C:\Windows\ccmcache
- Run the cmd command: cmd /c C:\Windows\ccmcache\PBIDesktopSetup_x64_2-100.exe -s -norestart ACCEPT_EULA=1
- Delete the EXE file after installation

Everything worked fine and there was no error. But the PowerBi version didn't changed, even not after client-restart.
Then I was trying to make an application for Power Bi Desktop, which was required. But does someone have an idea what is the best configuration to detect the old version and install the new one?

BR,
Strahinja

This is the detection rule of the application which I want to deploy as "required". Is the value correct? Because the "DisplayVersion" does not contain the {28237cfb-608d-4fc6-8774-baf2bfdad5f2}

Why are you copying the file to the CCMCache folder? How are you copying the file? Why are you not using the command line of "PBIDesktopSetup_x64_2-100.exe -s -norestart ACCEPT_EULA=1"

I tried it this way, because over normal application deployment with the option "Required" it didn't worked. So I created a task sequence which is copying the file to the computer, running the command and after installation, deleting the exe file.
Everything was running fine, but the version of PowerBi didn't changed.

Now when I try to run the task sequence again and again, it's always showing me in software center that it's "installed".

What does this mean? What didn't work? How exactly are you copying the files?
