Detection Script

PowerShell Help
1

I am trying to combine two scripts into 1 so that if I run the 1 script it will detect the products and return a: installed or not installed.

Here are my two scripts:

$software = "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010  x64 Redistributable - 10.0.40219";

$installed = (Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products* | Where { $_.ProductName -eq $software }) -ne $null


If(-Not $installed) {


Write-Host "'$software' NOT is installed.";



} else {


Write-Host "'$software' is installed."



}

$software = "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010  x86 Redistributable - 10.0.40219";

$installed = (Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products* | Where { $_.ProductName -eq $software }) -ne $null


If(-Not $installed) {


Write-Host "'$software' NOT is installed.";



} else {


Write-Host "'$software' is installed."



}

I could use some tips to combine both. I thought about making 2 $ - values? but I am not sure if that would work.

You’re kidding, aren’t you?

And please format your code as code using the code tags “PRE”. Read Me Before Posting! You’ll be Glad You Did!

Thanks.

I am new to scripting, I am not asking for you to do it for me, just looking for ideas to work with.

Ah … ok … so you’re not kidding. Sorry. :wink:

Just run both snippets like they are. if you want to make them one script copy them to one script file and run it. Or did I got something wrong again?

The string is the same with the exception of x86 and x64, so you can do a wildcard search. Both versions of the Runtime are installed, so the question is do you need to know if either is installed or a specific architecture? For instance, this would tell me if either:

$software = “Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 X* Additional Runtime - 14.22.27821”
$installed = Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\* | 
             Where { $_.ProductName -like $software}

if ($installed) {
    Write-Host (“‘Installed Software: rnrn{0}” -f (($installed | Select -ExpandProperty ProductName) -join "rn"))
} else {
    Write-Host (“‘{0}’ NOT is installed.” -f $software)
}

Output:

Installed Software: 

Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 X86 Additional Runtime - 14.22.27821
Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 X64 Additional Runtime - 14.22.27821

If you are installing a specific msi for each version, then you can do something like:

$installed = Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\*

switch -wildcard ($installed.ProductName) {
    “Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 X86 Additional Runtime - 14.22.27821” {"Do something for x86"}    
    “Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 X64 Additional Runtime - 14.22.27821” {"Do something for x64"}
    default {"Don't care about $_.ProductName"}    
}
