DisplayLink 8.0 M3 Corporate Installer Problem - Unique Batch Files Generated

atomicd10 · 01-05-2017, 03:41 PM

Hi Alban,

We've been using the corporate MSI installer to install and update DisplayLink on our endpoints, and unless I'm mistaken the INF pre-install won't work in our environment for upgrading DisplayLink on computers that already have DisplayLink installed (we're running Win10 TH2, build 10586.713); so unfortunately we have not made any progress.

To clarify, we haven't had any issues installing DisplayLink for the first time on endpoints as far as I'm aware; the installation issues we've encountered now and historically have typically been during upgrades.

Did AI happen to clarify if the GUIDs (e.g: "{54B1F561-31EE-4125-B503-2CCA54204644}" like in the sample batch file example above) are generated randomly or acquired from the system somewhere? If we are able to acquire the GUID that's used inside of the batch file before the batch file is executed we may be able to work around the issue.

Thank you for all of your help!
