Create a detection method clause for an MSI product code.

Syntax

New-CMDetectionClauseWindowsInstaller
   -ExpectedValue <String>
   -ExpressionOperator <WindowsInstallerRuleExpressionOperator>
   -ProductCode <Guid>
   [-PropertyType <MSIProperty>]
   [-Value]
   [-DisableWildcardHandling]
   [-ForceWildcardHandling]

   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

Use this cmdlet to create a clause in a detection method on an application. This clause is a rule for a Windows Installer (MSI) product code that indicates the presence of an application.

After you use this cmdlet, then use one of the Add- or Set- cmdlets for deployment types. Pass this detection clause object to either the AddDetectionClause or RemoveDetectionClause parameters.

To group detection clauses, use the GroupDetectionClauses parameter on the deployment type cmdlets.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Detect the existence of an MSI product code

This example adds the Configuration Manager console MSI product code to the deployment type.

$clause = New-CMDetectionClauseWindowsInstaller -Existence -ProductCode 4F7840A9-9816-45E2-9F6C-F7067A8BC0FD

Set-CMScriptDeploymentType -ApplicationName "Configuration Manager console" -DeploymentTypeName "Install" -AddDetectionClause $clause

Parameters

-DisableWildcardHandling

This parameter treats wildcard characters as literal character values. You can't combine it with ForceWildcardHandling.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Existence

When you add this parameter, the MSI product code must exist on the target system to indicate presence of this application.

Instead of just existence, to also evaluate a version condition, use the Value parameter.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ExpectedValue

When you add the Value parameter, use ExpectedValue with PropertyType and ExpressionOperator. When you use these parameters, the MSI version must satisfy the rule to indicate the presence of this application. This ExpectedValue parameter specifies the value to compare against the device.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ExpressionOperator

When you add the Value parameter, use ExpressionOperator with PropertyType and ExpectedValue. When you use these parameters, the MSI version must satisfy the rule to indicate the presence of this application. This ExpressionOperator parameter specifies the operator to compare the device's value with the expected value.

Starting in version 2010, the parameter type changed from RuleExpressionOperator to WindowsInstallerRuleExpressionOperator.

Type:WindowsInstallerRuleExpressionOperator
Accepted values:IsEquals, NotEquals, GreaterThan, LessThan, GreaterEquals, LessEquals
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ForceWildcardHandling

This parameter processes wildcard characters and may lead to unexpected behavior (not recommended). You can't combine it with DisableWildcardHandling.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ProductCode

Specify the Windows Installer product code that indicates the presence of this application. The format is a GUID, for example 4F7840A9-9816-45E2-9F6C-F7067A8BC0FD.

Type:Guid
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PropertyType

When you add the Value parameter, use PropertyType with ExpressionOperator and ExpectedValue. When you use these parameters, the MSI version must satisfy the rule to indicate the presence of this application.

This PropertyType parameter currently only supports a single value, ProductVersion.

Type:MSIProperty
Accepted values:ProductVersion
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Value

When you add the Value parameter, along with the product code, the MSI version must also satisfy the rule to indicate the presence of this application. Use this parameter with the following parameters: ExpectedValue, ExpressionOperator, and PropertyType.

Instead of evaluating a rule, to just check the MSI product code, use the Existence parameter.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:ValueRule
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

Inputs

None
