The SMS_TaskSequence_SoftwareConditionExpression Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class is an SMS Provider server class, in Configuration Manager, that represents a condition expression to verify if a specified product is installed on the destination computer. If the software exists, the action is run; otherwise it is not run.

Class SMS_TaskSequence_SoftwareConditionExpression : SMS_TaskSequence_ConditionExpression
{
      String Operator;
      String ProductCode;
      String ProductName;
      String UpgradeCode;
};
