Software Center and Packages

SCCM 2012 SP1 / Windows 7 32bit clients

When we deploy software as an SCCM Application, it shows up in the Software Center as expected.  However, when we deploy software an SCCM Package, even though it installs successfully and shows up in Control Panel - Programs and Feature, it does not show up in the Software Center.  Is this by design, or am I missing something?

Thanks!

As far as I know this is by design.

Are you talking about under the Installed Software tab of Software Center? If so, then yes. This is by design. There is no way for the ConfigMgr to know if software installed via a package is actually installed so there's no way for it to be displayed in this tab. Software deployed using an Application includes a detection type however that does enable the client agent to determine that the software is installed.
