ID 4001342 - Notepad++ (x64) 8.9.2 Available

Hi,

Can you BigFix Support Team see if there is mistake in this ID of update of Notepad++ (x64) 8.9.2 Available?

If we tried to download the exe from https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/releases/download/v8.9.2/npp.8.9.2.Installer.x64.exe the file is that we can retrieve is npp.8.9.2.Installer.x64.exe and the action invokes the 32 bits version.

wait __Download\npp.8.9.2.Installer.exe /S

I think it should be wait __Download\npp.8.9.2.Installer.x64.exe /S

Please see,

Best Regards

Raul

Hello @raulfeio, notice in the prefetch statement, the 2nd parameter essentially renames the file as we drop the x64 and simply call it npp.8.9.2.Installer.exe. However notice in the URL that we are actually downloading the x64 version of the installer. You can compare this action script with 4001341 - Notepad++ 8.9.2 Available and you’ll see that although the names of the installer are the same, the URLs are different (x64 versus 32bit). Thanks, Gus.
