Detection rules - MSI version

Question

Hello, I'm trying to get the installation of applications working in Microsoft Intune, but I'm running into a problem with detecting the current versions of programs. For example:

I use the recommended MSI to detect. I set the operator to "Greater than or equal to" and enter the product version in the value. The application installs on my stations, Intune has the application as installed. However, after a subsequent manual update of the product, I start to install the application loaded into Intune from Intune with the older version. However, Intune should recognize that newer versions should take that as installed.

Is the product version the same as the version I am giving to MSI to check?

Thank you.

@Sedmák Jakub, Thanks for posting in Q&A.  From your description, we understand that you manually update the product on the device, but Intune will still install the old version on your device while you have set “MSI product version check” operator ”Greater than or equal to”.

For our issue, I suggest check the MSI product version on the device with the updated app to double confirm the version is greater. To verify the updated version is greater than the old version, please run the script in the following link in Windows PowerShell ISE, here is the test on my device.

If the updated app version is greater than the old version, but it is not detected, please open case to get more help:
