Create a Custom Detection Script for DraftSight 2022 (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 DraftSight 2022 using PowerShell.

How to Create a Custom Detection Script for DraftSight 2022

DraftSight 2022 (Registry Detection Method)

## Check for DraftSight 2022 (Registry Detection Method)
$DraftSight2022 = Get-ChildItem -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -match 'DraftSight 2022' } | Select-Object -Property DisplayName, DisplayVersion, PSChildName
$DraftSight2022.DisplayVersion
$DraftSight2022.PSChildName

## Create Text File with DraftSight 2022 Registry Detection Method
$FilePath = "C:\Windows\Temp\DraftSight_2022_Detection_Method.txt"
New-Item -Path "$FilePath" -Force
Set-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "If([Version](Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\$($DraftSight2022.PSChildName)' -Name DisplayVersion -ea SilentlyContinue) -ge '$($DraftSight2022.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 DraftSight 2022 Detection Method script required to detect the current version of DraftSight 2022 that is installed on the device you are running the script from.

Example:

If([Version](Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{3F0DE3C6-89ED-4D92-80E3-0C1372552440}' -Name DisplayVersion -ea SilentlyContinue) -ge '22.2.0033') {
Write-Host "Installed"
Exit 0
}
else {
Exit 1
}
