Create a Custom Detection Script for Camunda Modeler (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 Camunda Modeler using PowerShell.

Camunda Modeler (File Detection Method)

## Check for Camunda Modeler (File Detection Method)
$CamundaExe = (Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Program Files\Camunda Modeler\Camunda Modeler.exe" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)
$CamundaExe.FullName
$CamundaPath = $($CamundaExe.FullName).Replace("C:\Program Files\","")
$FileVersion = (Get-Item -Path "$($CamundaExe.FullName)" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).VersionInfo.FileVersionRaw

## Create Text File with Camunda Modeler File Detection Method
$FilePath = "C:\Windows\Temp\Camunda_Modeler_Detection_Method.txt"
New-Item -Path "$FilePath" -Force
Set-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "If([String](Get-Item -Path `"`$Env:ProgramFiles\$CamundaPath`" -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 Camunda Modeler Detection Method script required to detect the current version of Camunda Modeler that is installed on the device you are running the script from.

If([String](Get-Item -Path "$Env:ProgramFiles\Camunda Modeler\Camunda Modeler.exe" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).VersionInfo.FileVersionRaw -ge "5.6.0.0"){
Write-Host "Installed"
Exit 0
}

}
