Hi All,

Greetings from Malaysia.

I need your assistance with task sequence. I'm trying to create a condition. Using UninstallString as the ValueName.

I want to have the task sequence to check if the application is installed in a machine or not.

If the applcation is installed, the task sequence will exit (will not do anything) and if the application is NOT installed, then it will proceed/instruct to download the application from one of the packages that has been created in SCCM.

 

I'm using SCCM 2007

 

Thanks in advance,

Naveen

What have you tried using so far?

I'm new to SCCM and this is my 1st job assigned.

I believe this can be done by checking the registry but unsure how to perform this via TS.I have been trying to do the if statement from TS but failed multiple times.

Would appreciate any assistance on this.

You need to go one level deeper, so not check on the key but on one of the values within the key.

here's an export of a TS I've used. It checks to see if Java 1.6 is installed, and if it is, removes it and installs 1.6_45. It then installs 1.7_51.

Java.xml

Thanks a bunch.. I will give a try and get back with results asap.

You'll need to create two queries, the first query is to see if the software is installed, the second is a sub-select query of the first query.

 

Once the second query exists you can import this into a collection and advertise to that collection to install.

 

The queries are a bit complicated and off the top of my head I cant remember the exact wording but a good link is here =

Hope that helps
