Issue:
MSI product code for WithSecure Client Security is generated each time differently when the installation package is created.
This is troublesome as I need to include a number of MSI product codes in the SCCM's detection method, to detect the existing installation of WithSecure Client Security.
Other than using the MSI product code, what's your recommendation to create the detection method in SCCM?
Resolution:
You can use the custom made type of detection method, based on the product registry. We recommend to use the following detection methods:
1. Using the product registry detection, whereby the product version is being kept at the following registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\F-Secure\NS\default\OneClient\Version(REG_SZ)
For example, to detect the existing installation of F-Secure Client Security 15.20 installed on the device
2. Using script, i.e. VBScript, to check version from the registry branch mentioned above:
For example, you can use the following scripting to detect the existing installation of F-Secure Client Security 15.20 installed on the device
ON ERROR RESUME NEXT
Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strKey = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\F-Secure\NS\default\OneClient"
strValue = WshShell.RegRead (str_key)
If InStr(1, str_value, "15.20") then
wscript.echo "Success"
end if
