Create a Custom Detection Script for Adobe Prelude Creative Cloud (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 Adobe Prelude Creative Cloud using PowerShell.

How to Create a Custom Detection Script for Adobe Prelude Creative Cloud

Adobe Prelude Creative Cloud (File Detection Method)

## Check for Adobe Prelude Creative Cloud (File Detection Method)
$PreludeCCExe = (Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Prelude*\Adobe Prelude.exe" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)
$PreludeCCExe.FullName
$PreludeCCPath = $($PreludeCCExe.FullName).Replace("C:\Program Files\","")
$FileVersion = (Get-Item -Path "$($PreludeCCExe.FullName)" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).VersionInfo.FileVersionRaw

## Create Text File with Adobe Prelude Creative Cloud File Detection Method
$FilePath = "C:\Windows\Temp\Adobe_Prelude_Creative_Cloud_Detection_Method.txt"
New-Item -Path "$FilePath" -Force
Set-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "If([String](Get-Item -Path `"`$Env:ProgramFiles\$PreludeCCPath`" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).VersionInfo.FileVersionRaw -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 Adobe Prelude Creative Cloud Detection Method script required to detect the current version of Adobe Prelude Creative Cloud that is installed on the device you are running the script from.

Example:

If([String](Get-Item -Path "$Env:ProgramFiles\Adobe\Adobe Prelude 2022\Adobe Prelude.exe" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).VersionInfo.FileVersionRaw -ge "22.6.0.6"){
Write-Host "Installed"
Exit 0
}
else {
Exit 1
}

Adobe Prelude Creative Cloud (Registry Detection Method)

## Check for Adobe Prelude Creative Cloud (Registry Detection Method)
$PreludeCC = Get-ChildItem -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall","HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -match 'Adobe Prelude' -and $_.SystemComponent -ne '1' } | Select-Object -Property DisplayName, DisplayVersion, PSChildName
$PreludeCC.DisplayVersion
$PreludeCC.PSChildName

## Create Text File with Adobe Prelude Creative Cloud Registry Detection Method
$FilePath = "C:\Windows\Temp\Adobe_Prelude_Creative_Cloud_Detection_Method.txt"
New-Item -Path "$FilePath" -Force
Set-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "If([Version](Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\$($PreludeCC.PSChildName)','HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\$($PreludeCC.PSChildName)' -Name DisplayVersion -ea SilentlyContinue) -ge '$($PreludeCC.DisplayVersion)') {"
Add-Content -Path "$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 Adobe Prelude Creative Cloud Detection Method script required to detect the current version of Adobe Prelude Creative Cloud that is installed on the device you are running the script from.

Example:

If([Version](Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\PRLD_22_6','HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\PRLD_22_6' -Name DisplayVersion -ea SilentlyContinue) -ge '22.6') {
Write-Host "Installed"
Exit 0
}
else {
Exit 1
}
