Create a Custom Detection Script for 3DF Zephyr Free (PowerShell)

Microsoft Endpoint Manager Configuration Manager (MEMCM / SCCM) and Microsoft Intune use Detection Rules to determine the presence of Applications & Win32 Apps. The detection rules ensure that application installations only begin to run if the application is not already installed on the device. This article will serve as an informative guide and give you a clear understanding of how to create an updated custom detection script for each new version of 3DF Zephyr Free using PowerShell.

How to Create a Custom Detection Script for 3DF Zephyr Free

3DF Zephyr Free (File Detection Method)

## Check for 3DF Zephyr Free (File Detection Method)
$3DFZephyrExe = (Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Program Files\3DF Zephyr Free\3DF Zephyr Free.exe" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)
$3DFZephyrExe.FullName
$3DFZephyrPath = $($3DFZephyrExe.FullName).Replace("C:\Program Files\","")
$FileVersion = (Get-Item -Path "$($3DFZephyrExe.FullName)" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).VersionInfo.FileVersion

## Create Text File with 3DF Zephyr Free File Detection Method
$FilePath = "C:\Windows\Temp\3DF_Zephyr_Free_Detection_Method.txt"
New-Item -Path "$FilePath" -Force
Set-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "If([String](Get-Item -Path `"`$Env:ProgramFiles\$3DFZephyrPath`" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).VersionInfo.FileVersion -ge `"$FileVersion`"){"
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "Write-Host `"Installed`""
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "Exit 0"
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "}"
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "else {"
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "Exit 1"
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "}"
Invoke-Item $FilePath
  • Click Run Script (F5)
  • A text file will open with the 3DF Zephyr Free Detection Method script required to detect the current version of 3DF Zephyr Free that is installed on the device you are running the script from.

Example:

If([String](Get-Item -Path "$Env:ProgramFiles\3DF Zephyr Free\3DF Zephyr Free.exe" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).VersionInfo.FileVersion -ge "7.511"){
Write-Host "Installed"
Exit 0

$3DFZephyr.DisplayVersion
$3DFZephyr.PSChildName

New-Item -Path "$FilePath" -Force
Set-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "If([Version](Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\$($3DFZephyr.PSChildName)' -Name DisplayVersion -ea SilentlyContinue) -ge '$($3DFZephyr.DisplayVersion)') {"
Add-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "Write-Host `"Installed`""
