Create a Custom Detection Script for digiSeal Reader (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 digiSeal Reader using PowerShell.

How to Create a Custom Detection Script for digiSeal Reader

digiSeal Reader (File Detection Method)

## Check for digiSeal Reader (File Detection Method)
$digiSealReaderExe = (Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Program Files\digiSeal reader\digiSeal reader.exe","C:\Program Files (x86)\digiSeal reader\digiSeal reader.exe" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)
$digiSealReaderExe.FullName
$digiSealReaderPath = $($digiSealReaderExe.FullName).Replace("C:\Program Files\","").Replace("C:\Program Files (x86)\","")
$FileVersion = (Get-Item -Path "$($digiSealReaderExe.FullName)" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).VersionInfo.FileVersion

## Create Text File with digiSeal Reader File Detection Method
$FilePath = "C:\Windows\Temp\digiSeal_Reader_Detection_Method.txt"
New-Item -Path "$FilePath" -Force
Set-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "If([String](Get-Item -Path `"`$Env:ProgramFiles\$digiSealReaderPath`",`"`${Env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\$digiSealReaderPath`" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).VersionInfo.FileVersion -ge `"$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 digiSeal Reader Detection Method script required to detect the current version of digiSeal Reader that is installed on the device you are running the script from.

Example:

If([String](Get-Item -Path "$Env:ProgramFiles\digiSeal reader\digiSeal reader.exe","${Env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\digiSeal reader\digiSeal reader.exe" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).VersionInfo.FileVersion -ge "6.0.2.1"){
Write-Host "Installed"
Exit 0
}
else {
Exit 1
}

digiSeal Reader (Registry Detection Method)

## Check for digiSeal Reader (Registry Detection Method)
$digiSealReader = Get-ChildItem -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall","HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -match 'digiSeal reader' } | Select-Object -Property DisplayName, DisplayVersion, PSChildName
$digiSealReader.DisplayVersion
$digiSealReader.PSChildName

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

Example:

If([Version](Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\digiSeal reader','HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\digiSeal reader' -Name DisplayVersion -ea SilentlyContinue) -ge '6.0.2.1') {
Write-Host "Installed"
Exit 0
}
else {
Exit 1
}
