Detection Menthods for MSU file

[Doug Blake]

Hi,

 

I'm looking at combining a number of installs together using requirements / dependencies however unsure how to proceed when the requirement is a MSU file.

 

In the case of installing the App-V 5 Beta 2 Client you are required to have Windows Management Framework 3.0 (KB2506143) and KB2533623 - both of which are available as an MSU file.

 

If i add in the MSU file(s) into SCCM as a deployable application how can I specify the detection method used by the App-v install to detect if the KB's are installed / need installing.

 

Thanks,

 

Doug

You can perform a simple WMI Query fot the KB number like this ...

 

select * from Win32_QuickFixEngineering Where HotFixID = "KB2533623"

 

Just another query for further needed Hotfixes.
