AdminStudio 2019 R2, released on August 13th 2019 features:
- Package Feed Module
- Package Feed Module PowerShell Cmdlets

The Package Feed Module
The Package Feed Module integrates details about thousands of vendor setups into AdminStudio to save you hours of research and testing. You can now subscribe to up to date, tested, installation details for nearly 3,000 vendor setups. With the Package Feed Module, AdminStudio now provides:
- Awareness. Always up to date, you’ll have valuable details on the very latest version of thousands of vendor installers
- Integrated downloads. Download the latest setups directly into AdminStudio with a click (available for over half of listed products; limited by vendor policy)
- Validated silent command line options. Application version-specific silent installation commands, tested and ready for use (available for most entries; limited by vendor support)
- Detection rules. The primary file path and file name as well as version details to confirm the currently installed version for use as applicability rules in SCCM or to create a WSUS patch.
