You can use this tab to apply special program settings, such as
program dependencies and whether to remove software that is no
longer advertised.
Run another program first
This program requires another program (in another package or in
the current package) to run before it. By default, this check box
is cleared.
Note The program you specify to run
first does not need to be advertised separately.
Package
The package that contains the program that must run before this
program.
Program
The program that must run first.
Note If the depended-upon program fails
on a client, the depending program will not run.
When program is assigned
When Program can run (in the Environment tab) is set to Only when a
user is logged on, you can specify how the program is assigned
to users.
Run once for first user who logs on
The program should run only once on the computer. This is the
default setting.
For example, a virus checker only needs to run once on the
client.
Run once for every user who logs on
The program should run once for each new user who logs on.
Remove software when it is no longer advertised
Indicates that SMS will remove this program from client
computers when it is no longer advertised to those clients. This
option is mainly useful for shared network applications and is
available only to programs that register with Add/Remove
Programs in Control Panel.
To use this option, type the name of the uninstall registry key
the program creates in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Uninstall registry key. After all advertisements
for the program are revoked from the client, SMS looks up the
program's uninstall command line in the UninstallString or
QuietUninstallString property in this registry key.
By default, this check box is cleared.
An advertisement is considered revoked from a client when any of
the following are true:
The client is no longer a member of the collection specified in
the advertisement.
The advertisement is deleted.
The advertisement expires.
Uninstall registry key
The registry key that contains the uninstall command for this
program. You can use up to 127 characters.
Disable this program on computers where it is advertised
Temporarily disables all advertisements that contain this
program. The program will be removed from the list available for
users to run and will not be run via assignment until it is
re-enabled. By default, this check box is cleared.
