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 CapCut using PowerShell.
How to Create a Custom Detection Script for CapCut
CapCut (Registry Detection Method)
- Install the version of CapCut 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 CapCut (Registry Detection Method)
$CapCut = Get-ChildItem -Path "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -match 'CapCut' } | Select-Object -Property DisplayName, DisplayVersion, PSChildName
$CapCut.DisplayVersion
$CapCut.PSChildName
