Is there any way to update "user" applications?

In light of all the security nonsense going on with Zoom, I was looking to write an upgrade fixlet to bring Zoom up to the latest version. I have found, however, that it (and several other internet collaboration tools) installs itself under C:\Users\<username>\AppData folders on a per-user basis. Is there any way to patch these installations centrally?

We had a similar conversation about per user installs for Teams.

As to “can it be patched”? It depends on what the vendor provides for patching mechanism. For patches where the user must be logged in, you could use the Take Action Dialog feature to require that user’s presence when the action runs. If you need to impersonate, check out the Override feature in Action Script.

@straffin You can also check for existing content that community has put out on BigFix.me. There are quite a few Fixlets there.
