Use Update-VcMdtApplication
to update the Visual C++ Redistributables that have previously been imported into the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit by Import-VcMdtApplication
. As updates Visual C++ Redistributables are released (typically updates to existing versions), the existing applications may require updating. While Import-VcMdtApplication
supports the -Force
parameter, it will first delete the exsiting application and re-import it. Update-VcMdtApplication
will update the properties of the existing application, keeping the application GUID intact.
