Ignoring a dependency or installation status with an ERROR?

[erems]

Hello,

we are deploying the "Dell Command Update" package, imported from the Dell Store, across our network.

However, we have a handful of non-Dell machines on which the package generates an error:
Installing: Dell-Command-Update-Windows-Universal-Application_1WR6C_WIN_5.0.0_A00.EXE (5.0.0)
ERROR: Dell Command Update UWP can only be installed on a Dell System! The installation will be ignored.

Since this is a "standard" package from the Dell Store, we would prefer to avoid modifying it.

Would it be possible to:
- either exclude this dependency on specific machines?
- or acknowledge this installation error to remove the error status on the machine?

Thank you.
Best regards.

Dell detection should be added

Code: Select all

w = wmi.WMI()
systeminfo = w.Win32_ComputerSystem()[0]
if "DELL" in systeminfo.Manufacturer.upper():

Thanks for the feedback. It's true that modifying the package could prevent this error.

But more generally, is it possible to exclude inheritance for certain hosts or to acknowledge an error that we no longer wish to see?

Regards.
