CapaInstaller Changelog

[6.7.109] - 2026 Latest

Added

  • Optimized disk partitioning – Microsoft-recommended layout — CapaInstaller now supports the Microsoft-recommended partition layout for UEFI-based devices when deploying Windows, creating the four required partitions (System/EFI, MSR, Windows, and Recovery) in the correct order with the correct sizes and file systems. This results in more robust installations, better support for Secure Boot and BitLocker, and ensures your setup is ready for future Windows updates.

Fixed

  • Package Status Views now load correctly — an issue that prevented the view from displaying package status data has been resolved.

[6.7.108] - 2026

Added

  • PowerPacks now run on .NET 10 (embedded in the Execution Engine — no .NET 10 install required on endpoints).

Changed

  • A failed package unzip now sets the job status to Cancelled instead of leaving it stuck.

  • MDM: volume licenses were not assigned to applications, iOS app deployment was unstable, concurrent app installation defaulted to 1 (causing long install times), special characters broke Apple app names and custom end-user agreements, and enrollment failed when the password contained =.
  • Android: the agent stopped at enrollment step 2, “no store account” was shown despite a configured store account, the File Transfer Payload placed files in the wrong folder, and the profile editor now states that Webclips require Android 8.0 or earlier.
  • OSD/PXE: UEFI boot failed, PXE boot stalled on block retransmission, multiple network adapters were mishandled, the ciOSDeploy service leaked memory, and reinstall from the WebConsole did not work with UEFI.
