Multiple Software Repositorys (remote locations)
Hello Manage Engine community, We have several offices with each office having their own software repository server. When deploying packages we copy each package on their local server so when our users need software the install does not take long. This works well when installing stuff manually, we remote into a remote users machine and install packages fine. However, now we are doing a silent install using manage engine. When we deploy the packages on our local office (ny) the packages install

Package Install
I am trying to install a package to a computer. The .MSI file I have is completely unattended and silent. I double click my .MSI file and it installs the program silently. Being new to Desktop Central, I cannot seem to install it. If I don't enter any properties for the MSI file, it only installs the install file, and not the program. How can I use Desktop Central to install my .MSI file, without using any properties? The .MSI file is completely hands free. Darren

The preinstalled one is not the correct version or type. I made it using the exe command option. Before things get started about my deployment options. I know the options I chose works. I know that because I did test deployments and it worked. When I started to deploy in prod I deployed to 90 servers. Of those

Skip install if version equal to or greater than - with one conditional statement
When I deploy software, say Google Chrome, I configure the package to abort if the software is already installed. The pre-install check looks like this... It would be great if ME DC had a combined condition for "equal to or greater than" so that I don't have to write two rules for each and every package. A single rule would look like - Google Chrome & ( Version>= 54.0 ) exists Thank you
Invalid command line argument when deploying custom msi
I am trying to deploy PDFill as a custom package. It successfully uninstalls the previous versions as described in the pre-deployment activity, however it will not install the new version.

Managing Google Chrome
It's been decided that google chrome will not be allowed on our systems. Unfortunately a mixture of administrators and the ability to install it without administrative access has meant that we now have 314 instances of it on our network. Is there an easy way to manage this within Desktop Central as the 'Prohibited' doesn't seem to be able to manage it due to the nature on the none admin installs etc?

Install Package
Being new to Desktop Central, I'm confused as to how to add a package to a specific computer in our domain. When it comes to adding the computer, it asks for the domain or local office, but I don't see where it specifies the actual computer to install the package on. Am I missing something?

Self service portal application "run as"
We are running into an issue publishing eQUEST application via the self service portal, the application installs itself but it does not get initialized properly. The software support tech said the package needs to have the user logged in and to use the "run as administrator" option to install properly. Is this possible when launching an install from the self service portal?

Installing packages from user group in self service is unreliable
I have mentioned this to support before, detailing how domain admins can't install packages from their usergroup in self-service. Recently I thought I had a good idea by adding a domain admin to the local admin group on the local machine. I thought that this for sure would allow me to install software as a user that had been specifically added to the local admin group. Well I was mistaken. I begin to wonder if this feature had ever worked. some good news however: My antivirus MSI (that I uploaded
