This would stop everyone having darkest dark from updating to June release, right ? Is there a way to force uninstall of it instead.

I need to test, but you can see how the remediation suggested uninstalling the Oomph feature:

#310 (comment)

It might well be possible to use an Oomph p2 director task to uninstall it too, which could be another button. But I kind of doubt the people who have this installed will want to uninstall it...

It seems in everyone's best interest, including and maybe especially Genuitec, to fix the problem, in which case there will be a newer version available during update...

This doesn't actually work for upgrading from 2025-03 with dark mode installed. What it does is causes everything except the EPP to update. Doing a check for updates shows this screen showing no indication of an error

Pressing back does show the error:

So this solution does prevent installs, it doesn't solve the upgrade problem.

I was just in the middle of writing the following when you posted...

I have a bad feeling now that this won't really work as hoped because I think it will still possible to update just the platform:

One might argue this should be done by SWT itself, because that's where the incompatibility lies.

I think that no matter what we do in EPP, we cannot prevent the platform from updating given its a root install feature. So I will close this.
