Issue/Introduction

When exporting a client package you want to select an earlier build of the client package after a client patch update has updated the client build.

 

In order to select a previous build when exporting the client package use the drop down in the Export Package options

 

For example, instead of showing 3 versions like here:

 

Make it so only the version you want installed will be displayed.  In the default configuration when you export a package for an agent install, all available agent versions are selectable. 

If you want to be able to control the agent version getting installed by the administrators, you can do this by creating a custom install package with only the specific agent version you want to install.
The only caveat to this is that you will need to delete the original Export package since it will not let you add it back if the original one is there.  Therefore I would export all versions of the agents so you can get them back if needed.

 

Environment

Release : 14.3 RU5

Cause

The Export packages were specifically designed this way.  

Resolution

If you want to be able to control the agent version getting installed by the administrators, you can do this by creating a custom install package with only the specific agent version you want to install.  The only caveat to this is that you will need to delete the original Export package since it will not let you add it back if the original one is there.  Therefore I would export all versions of the agents so you can get them back if needed.

First export the package with the individual version of the agent you want to have available so you have a backup of them. Like this;

Then once you have done this for each version of the package, so you have each version of the agent backed up.  You will delete the package from the SEPM, like this;

Then once it is removed you will add a client package back to the SEPM and this time only select the version of the agent that you want to add back.;

You can name it whatever you like.

Then once this has been installed into the SEPM you can create an export .exe from this package and it will only have the on version you had previously selected and it will look like this;
