Settings file is not copying to clients when deploying 4Matrix (SCCM, Intune)
The 4Matrix Client MSI's issued after January 2019 should automatically deploy both the Settings and LauncherSettings files with the installation, provided they reside in the same folder as the MSI. However, Intune and SCCM require arguments to ensure these additional files are included with the deployment.
Intune
You will need to specify an argument to ensure that the Settings file is deployed with the MSI.
The required argument is: COPY_FILES="\\MyServer\4MatrixDeployment\Settings"
Replace the server and path with your own, making sure that the Settings file path is accessible and correct for your network.
Add a second argument if you also require LauncherSettings.xml to be deployed. Here's an example of the argument with the client MSI, Settings and LauncherSettings included:
msiexec /D "4MClient.msi" /qn COPY_FILES="\\MyServer\4MatrixDeployment\Settings,\\MyServer\4MatrixDeployment\Settings\LauncherSettings.xml"

SCCM
If you're using SCCM to deploy 4Matrix, you will need to use the same arguments as specified above for Intune, and we have included screengrabs for further information in the attached PDF.
