One thing that often goes unnoticed is the power and granularity of Lansweeper’s Deployment feature - if you can report on it, you can pinpoint-target deploy to it.

This led me down the rabbit-hole of finding free ways to keep third-party applications updated, using Lansweeper’s Deployment feature, without having to change or modify the deployment packages in the future. During my adventure, I came across Winget and Chocolatey as really good candidates for accomplishing this task. Let’s jump in!

The first tool I tried was winget - a Microsoft command-line tool that inventories and updates native and third-party applications.
