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 MiniTool MovieMaker using PowerShell.
How to Create a Custom Detection Script for MiniTool MovieMaker
MiniTool MovieMaker (File Detection Method)
- Install the version of MiniTool MovieMaker 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 MiniTool MovieMaker (File Detection Method)
$MovieMakerExe = (Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Program Files\MiniTool\MiniTool MovieMaker\bin\MiniTool MovieMaker.exe","C:\Program Files (x86)\MiniTool\MiniTool MovieMaker\bin\MiniTool MovieMaker.exe" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)
$MovieMakerExe.FullName
$MovieMakerPath = $($MovieMakerExe.FullName).Replace("C:\Program Files\","").Replace("C:\Program Files (x86)\","")
$FileVersion = (Get-Item -Path "$($MovieMakerExe.FullName)" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).VersionInfo.FileVersion
## Create Text File with MiniTool MovieMaker File Detection Method
$FilePath = "C:\Windows\Temp\MiniTool_MovieMaker_Detection_Method.txt"
New-Item -Path "$FilePath" -Force
Set-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "If([String](Get-Item -Path `"`$Env:ProgramFiles\$MovieMakerPath`",`"`${Env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\$MovieMakerPath`" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).VersionInfo.FileVersion -ge `"$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 $FilePath
- Click Run Script (F5)
- A text file will open with the MiniTool MovieMaker Detection Method script required to detect the current version of MiniTool MovieMaker that is installed on the device you are running the script from.
Example:
If([String](Get-Item -Path "$Env:ProgramFiles\MiniTool\MiniTool MovieMaker\bin\MiniTool MovieMaker.exe","${Env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\MiniTool\MiniTool MovieMaker\bin\MiniTool MovieMaker.exe" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).VersionInfo.FileVersion -ge "5.1.0.0819"){
Write-Host "Installed"
Exit 0
}
else {
Exit 1
}
- Copy the MiniTool MovieMaker Detection Method script content into the Custom Detection Rules (Script)
- Microsoft Endpoint Manager Configuration Manager (MEMCM / SCCM)
- Microsoft Intune
MiniTool MovieMaker (Registry Detection Method)
- Install the version of MiniTool MovieMaker 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

## Check for MiniTool MovieMaker (Registry Detection Method)
$MovieMaker = Get-ChildItem -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall","HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -match 'MiniTool MovieMaker' } | Select-Object -Property DisplayName, DisplayVersion, PSChildName
$MovieMaker.DisplayVersion
$MovieMaker.PSChildName
## Create Text File with MiniTool MovieMaker Registry Detection Method
$FilePath = "C:\Windows\Temp\MiniTool_MovieMaker_Detection_Method.txt"
New-Item -Path "$FilePath" -Force
Set-Content -Path "$FilePath" -Value "If([Version](Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\$($MovieMaker.PSChildName)','HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\$($MovieMaker.PSChildName)' -Name DisplayVersion -ea SilentlyContinue) -ge '$($MovieMaker.DisplayVersion)') {"
Add-Content -Path "$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 MiniTool MovieMaker Detection Method script required to detect the current version of MiniTool MovieMaker that is installed on the device you are running the script from.
Example:
If([Version](Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{MT-39B9213B-B182-41FB-B149-CD1016372F9C}_is1','HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{MT-39B9213B-B182-41FB-B149-CD1016372F9C}_is1' -Name DisplayVersion -ea SilentlyContinue) -ge '5.1.0') {
Write-Host "Installed"
Exit 0
}
else {
Exit 1
}
- Copy the MiniTool MovieMaker Detection Method script content into the Custom Detection Rules (Script)
- Microsoft Endpoint Manager Configuration Manager (MEMCM / SCCM)
- Microsoft Intune
