TV14 MSI Host download doesn't have auto update (greyed out)

Hi,

The TV14 MSI Host download doesn't allow auto updates at all.

When I'm downloading TV14 Host as .exe I can use autoupdate as intended. For our client rollout we need to use MSI. When I'm using the MSI Package ( Download at https://login.teamviewer.com ) the auto update section is greyed out with no settings loaded at all. After importing the exported settings of a working TV14 Host (.exe installation), it doesn't change. With this issue we don't have any auto updates at all on our installed clients.

To manually update doesn't work too - no window appears after clicking on "check for updates".

Best Regards,
Markus

I opened a ticket because of urgency.

Response: Works as intended. We have to update the MSI installation manually with our deployment software.

I do not understand the solution? Are you saying we have to re-push the TeamViewer package each time an update comes out?

I am in the same predicament, my TeamViewer policy is set for auto-update, but the option is greyed out within the advanced options on all clients. My clients have not been updating and I would love to resolve this.

You won't resolve this because they don't want to implement this feature into the MSI. I also called and asked them a few times to change that. But they never told me their reason for it. Only: works as intended

Please, please, please TeamViewer: make it work, so updates can be done automatically even when using the .msi installer. I want to use the latest and greatest TeamViewer version, but I need the msi installer to add new customers automatically to our TeamViewer portal.
