    Hi,
    Creating Application requires detection or else you have to create a Program.
    You can use the Registry for detection -> Simply create a registry location as mentioned in the .bat below and remove it when uninstalling the application (see examples below)

    Install.bat
    InstCommand.exe Param1 Param2 etc..
    REG ADD "HKLM\Software\MyCompany\AppInstall" /v "MyScript 1.00" /f

    Uninstall.bat
    UninstCommand.exe /uninstall
    Reg Delete "HKLM\Software\MyCompany\AppInstall" /v "MyScript 1.00" /f

    You can also create an Application and insert command to inject new (empty) txt file or registry value and use that as DT. I perfer reg values, but txt file will do it as well.

    Hi, @Boopathi S
    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    There really is no way to do an application deployment without a detection method since that's what triggers an installation.
    If you don't want to use a detection method than you may create a Package(program) instead. You can make it show up in Software Center if you want and in the deployment you can set the package to only rerun if the installation failed (based on the exit code).

    You can't, create a program instead.
