Hi, @Roger Roger
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
The detection rule you are setting should work.
But we may set the detection rule more easier:
We can click Browse and select the application v3.0 we are deploying, the version value will set automatically. Then we do not need the Registry detection rule.
