# Iterate through below mentioned registry keys # Visual C++ Redistributables from 2005 to 2019 in both x86 and 圆4 flavors. I'm using a PowerShell script both because it's the most modern one, and because it's the language I know best of the three: # Collection of all versions of the runtime the script should check for,
This can be a PowerShell script, a VBScript or a JScript script. The last method and the one I've employed for detecting this specific application, is using a custom script. Files: Likewise to the Windows Registry method, the SCCM client can check for the existance of a specific file in the local file system (and again optionally for certain requirements on that file).Windows Registry: Most if not all applications leave some entries in the Windows registry, therefore the SCCM client can check for a specific key and value, and optionally even check if that entry conforms to certain requirements the SCCM administrator specified.For that you will need to provide the MSI's so called product code. Windows Installer: For applications that utilize MSI packages to install, the SCCM client can use the integrated Windows Installer database to detect if an application deployment succeeded.There's several different ways to that, three of them being rather simple, the last one not so much: To deploy an application, SCCM needs a way to detect if that application is already installed, or whether a deployment initiated through SCCM succeeded.
So to solve this issue, we've opted to install all currently available packages on our computers. As many will know, there are quite a lot of these things, and different applications will use different versions of this runtime, so it's rarely sufficient to install just one of them.
One of the things we've previously had a lot of trouble with, is deploying the Redistributable(s) of the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime. SCCM is a device management software by Microsoft, used to automatically install operating systems, provision applications and keeping computers (and the installed software) up to date on a large scale. As of writing this, I am working as an apprentice in IT and one of my duties is administering our System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) server, taking care mostly of application and operating system deployments.
