description: Create a detection method clause for an MSI product code. external help file: AdminUI.PS.dll-Help.xml Module Name: ConfigurationManager ms.date: 05/05/2019 schema: 2.0.0 title: New-CMDetectionClauseWindowsInstaller
Create a detection method clause for an MSI product code.
New-CMDetectionClauseWindowsInstaller -ExpectedValue <String>
-ExpressionOperator <WindowsInstallerRuleExpressionOperator> -ProductCode <Guid> [-PropertyType <MSIProperty>]
[-Value] [-DisableWildcardHandling] [-ForceWildcardHandling] [<CommonParameters>]
New-CMDetectionClauseWindowsInstaller -ProductCode <Guid> [-Existence] [-DisableWildcardHandling]
[-ForceWildcardHandling] [<CommonParameters>]
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.
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-CMMsiDeploymentType -ApplicationName "Configuration Manager console" -DeploymentTypeName "Install" -AddDetectionClause $clauseThis parameter treats wildcard characters as literal character values. You can't combine it with ForceWildcardHandling.
Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseWhen 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
Parameter Sets: Existence
Aliases:
Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseWhen 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
Parameter Sets: Value
Aliases:
Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseWhen 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
Parameter Sets: Value
Aliases:
Accepted values: IsEquals, NotEquals, GreaterThan, LessThan, GreaterEquals, LessEquals
Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseThis parameter processes wildcard characters and may lead to unexpected behavior (not recommended). You can't combine it with DisableWildcardHandling.
Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseSpecify 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
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:
Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseWhen 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
Parameter Sets: Value
Aliases:
Accepted values: ProductVersion
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseWhen 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
Parameter Sets: Value
Aliases: ValueRule
Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: FalseThis cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.
