Issue:
MSI product code for F-Secure Client Security is generated each time differently when the installation package is created.
This is troublesome as I need to include a number of MSI product codes in the SCCM's detection method, to detect the existing installation of F-Secure Client Security.
Other than using the MSI product code, what's your recommendation to create the detection method in SCCM?
Resolution:
You can use the custom made type of detection method, based on the product registry. We recommend to use the following detection methods:
1. Using the product registry detection, whereby the product version is being kept at the following registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\F-Secure\NS\default\OneClient\Version(REG_SZ)
For example, to detect the existing installation of F-Secure Client Security 15.20 installed on the device
2. Using script, i.e. VBScript, to check version from the registry branch mentioned above:
For example, you can use the following scripting to detect the existing installation of F-Secure Client Security 15.20 installed on the device
ON ERROR RESUME NEXT
Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strKey = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\F-Secure\NS\default\OneClient"
strValue = WshShell.RegRead (str_key)
If InStr(1, str_value, "15.20") then
wscript.echo "Success"
end if
