The SMS_InstalledExecutable class is a client Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class, in Configuration Manager, that identifies executable files associated with a software installation.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all inherited properties.

      String ExecutableName;  
      String FilePropertiesHash;  
      String FilePropertiesHashEx;  
      UInt32 FileSize;  
      String FileVersion;  
      Boolean HasPatchAdded;  
      String InstalledFilePath;

Remarks

Note

This class is not currently used to support existing Asset Intelligence reports. However, it can be enabled to support custom reports.

This class identifies executable files associated with a software installation to:

Confirm that the application is installed by looking at Configuration Manager file inventory.
Indicate what metering rules, based on the executable files, have to be set to meter the application.
Perform an application impact analysis.

Because the Windows Installer (.msi) file contains a record of the installed executable files, it can be used as the source for the mapping between installed applications and executable files.

This class retrieves data from two sources. For each SMS_InstalledSoftware Client WMI Class object, the class identifies the .msi package by looking in the LocalPackage property, and queries the .msi database for all .exe and .com files.

For any SMS_InstalledSoftware Client WMI Class object that has the LocalPackage property set to null, the SMS_InstalledExecutable class inventories all executable files in the directory that are identified by the InstallLocation property. Executable files that are installed outside of the main installation directory are not inventoried.

Note

This class does not inventory executable files located in the %windir% and %systemroot% directories.
