KeePass - Password Management Software
Hello - we have less than 80 devices total in our environment on KACE 1000. We deployed the Keepass version 2.4.0 via MI (managed install) in December 2018 via KACE with no issues. However a new version of KeePass was recently released (2.4.1).
In KACE, how do I get it to uninstall the current version of Keepass 2.4.0 and have 2.4.1 installed instead?
Thanks!

I just downloaded both versions 2.4.0 and 2.42.1. I installed 2.4.0
I checked the registry and the silent uninstall command is
"C:\Program Files (x86)\KeePass Password Safe 2\unins000.exe" /SILENT
I then installed 2.42.1 with this command
C:\Users\homer\Desktop\KeePass-2.42.1-Setup.exe /Silent
It worked.
What version type are is installed as 2.4, exe, msi and portable zip
What version type are using to install 2.42.1 exe, msi or zip?
does the uninstall file exist where the software thinks it should be (look at uninstall command on kace or in the registry

MSI file and a batch file compressed via 7-zip when you associate the file. - CentralL 5 years ago
the uninstall MI should be like this

Thanks for your help! I think I found another way is to script the uninstall via scripting > Configuration policies > uninstaller
Then I will push out the 2.42.1 update via the MI. - CentralL 5 years ago-
If you are on the recent version of the SDA you can use a chained distribution to run 2 scripts
Or in your script create to uninstall go to the bottom and click on +new task and setup the install for 2.42.1 after and also attach the install file to that script - SMal.tmcc 5 years ago-
create a smart label for version 2.40 installed on machines and apply that label to the script so as they update they will fall out of the label and you then set that script to run on a cron schedule. If you do the label route you want to add a task 3 to run kbot 4 0 to update the inventory so they update the smart labels to remove the 2.40 label - SMal.tmcc 5 years ago

BTW - we're on KACE 8.1; are you on version 9? - CentralL 5 years ago

yes - SMal.tmcc 5 years ago
I googled "uninstall keypass version 2.4"
according to their web site you do not need to uninstall the old version first

also see for newer version 2.42.1

if you do want to remove it post what the uninstall command is under that sofware detail page in kace. - SMal.tmcc 5 years ago

I tried clicking on the Uninstall button and that doesn't do anything in the MI (managed install) page. - CentralL 5 years ago

Correct - but in the KACE appliance does it work the same way? For some reason I tested this on a test PC but it doesn't remove the old version; thus having two versions on the PC (version 2.40 and 2.42.1) Sorry about the version typos in the original post. - CentralL 5 years ago
