A trick is to install a second copy of ConsoleOne without any plugins. (I just have link to Clean ConsoleOne.) Using this version you can then Open the App Object and go to the Other tab, and expand zenappPackageName, double click the filename to change.

I use this quite regularly when updating FrontMotion’s Firefox MSI’s. I just keep two object and alternate between them. One production and one testing.

To change the location of an MSI you need to change 2 locations in ConsoleOne (with Zen plugins):

  • Identification Tab (initial page loaded): Administration Package Path
  • Common Tab: Sources: Modify or Add a new source

Make sure all paths use UNC paths. I recommend using Path Copy for this.
