Question

You package an internal in-house utility as a Win32 (.intunewin) app and deploy it as Required. The installer is a proprietary EXE that does not write an MSI product code, does not create a predictable registry uninstall key, and installs its main binary to a version-specific folder whose name changes with each release. You need Intune to reliably report installation success only when the currently deployed version is actually present. Which detection method should you configure?

Accepted Answer

A custom detection script (PowerShell) that inspects the installed binary's file version and exits 0 with STDOUT when the expected version is found

Answer

A file detection rule that checks whether the version-specific folder exists

Answer

An MSI detection rule using the product code returned by the installer

Answer

A registry detection rule that checks for the Uninstall key under HKLM
