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 Apache NetBeans IDE 22 using PowerShell.
How to Create a Custom Detection Script for Apache NetBeans IDE 22
Apache NetBeans IDE 22 (Registry Detection Method)
- Install the version of Apache NetBeans IDE 22 you want to deploy on a test box or VM
- Check out the following posts for further details
- Open Windows PowerShell ISE by Right-Clicking on Windows PowerShell ISE and selecting Run as Administrator
- Copy the following code into the Windows PowerShell ISE
## Check for Apache NetBeans IDE 22 (Registry Detection Method)
$NetBeans = (& reg query "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" | Where-Object {$_ -match 'nbi\-'})
$registryPath = $NetBeans -replace 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', 'HKLM:'
## Create Text File with Apache NetBeans IDE 22 Registry Detection Method
$FilePath = "C:\Windows\Temp\Apache_NetBeans_IDE_22_Detection_Method.txt"
New-Item -Path "$FilePath" -Force
Set-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "If (Test-Path '$($registryPath)') {"
Add-Content -Path "$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 Apache NetBeans IDE 22 Detection Method script required to detect the current version of Apache NetBeans IDE 22 that is installed on the device you are running the script from.
Example:
If (Test-Path 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\nbi-nb-all-22.0.0.240522.0') {
Write-Host "Installed"
Exit 0
}
else {
Exit 1
}
- Copy the Apache NetBeans IDE 22 Detection Method script content into the Custom Detection Rules (Script)
- Microsoft Endpoint Manager Configuration Manager (MEMCM / SCCM)
- Microsoft Intune
