  • 1.  Altiris 7.1 Detection Checks Working Incorrectly

    Posted Mar 17, 2014 01:06 PM

    Hello there,

     

    I'm looking for clarification about detection checks.  For example, I'm deploying a  small application which may install on a 32 or 64 bit Windows 7 machine....

     

    My detection check reads ....

     

     

    -AND

          (File Path = "C:\Program FIles (x86)\Appname\App.exe")

                   +OR

                        (File Path = "C:\Program Files\Appname\App.exe")

     

     

    The installer is the same regardless but i need to check for the presence in both places.  This is similar to checking for a regkey @ HKLM\Software\APP OR HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\APP.....I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong but the software fails the detection check every time.

     

     

    Thank you,

    The syntax should be:

    AND
        - OR
              (File Path = "C:\Program FIles (x86)\Appname\App.exe")
              (File Path = "C:\Program Files\Appname\App.exe")

    But you shouldn't have 32 and 64 bit versions of a package in the same Software Resource (Release, Update or Service pack). Each one should be separate.

    Hi,

     

    Verify the location if correct or check for typo errors if present. Usually, I do is copying the location of the targeted path for the detection and paste it to avoid typographical errors and case sensitivity.
