How to Install this Update

Using the Plugin Installer

Using the Plugin Installer method is currently the preferred method for installing Updates.

  1. Follow Steps 1-5 under Installing Ninite Solution
  2. Reload the LabTech Control Center
Check boxes have been added to the Global Settings and Location Approval screens which will allow you to specify any supported application by Ninite to be Uninstalled during the scheduled maintenance script. There is no guarantee that Ninite will be able to uninstall all applications successfully however in my testing i have not come across any major problems.
