We are deploying an user-based application, it is installed under folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming, that meams I need a dynamic detection method. I'm wondering how to write the detection method.

Anyone has experience on this?

    You can create a PowerShell script to detect the presence of a file or application binaries. Utilize environment variables in the script to target the current users.

    Hi, @DukenTee

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Like JM mentioned, you may use a PowerShell detection script like below to see if it helps:

    $i=0
If (Test-Path "C:\Users\*\AppData\Roaming\xxx.exe"){$i++}
If ($i -gt 0){Write-Host "Installed"}
