Is anyone else having a problem where Skype (after being installed by Jamf) is giving a popup asking for admin rights to install Skype Helper? I was having this issue about a month ago (when the latest version was 8.12), I was able to get around it by doing a Composer snapshot which included me installing it, running the app, and authenticating to install the Helper. The results were:
I made it into a DMG with FUT/FEU and this seemed to work. Then recently I wanted to install an update to Skype (8.15), so I uninstalled the app and all components and did a Snapshot of the install (this time it didn't prompt to install the Helper). When I looked at the Snapshot contents they didn't include the Preferences folder but otherwise were the same:
However after Jamf installed it still prompted to install the Jamf Helper. Based on this some people are saying this occurs if an update is available for Skype, but there unfortunately doesn't seem to be any way to disable Skype checking for updates (there used to be through Preferences in Skype but that seems to no longer be there). The only recommendation that users in the above thread made were to grant the user ownership of Skype.app, but I'd prefer not to do that since ultimately I don't want users updating the software.
Any ideas?
