application requirement

Hi Folks!

Thanks for CM2012, we can now manage software depencenies. However, how to determine for spesific Microsoft update?

 

Example:

App-V 5 client requires (http://technet.micro...y/jj713458.aspx)

- .Net framework 4. this is a standalone installer, no problem.

- Powershell 3 installed. The Powershell is part of "Windows Management Framework 3.0", wich can be deployed using software updates. http://www.microsoft...s.aspx?id=34595

- KB2533623.

 

So How to detect installation of spesific update?

I don't wish to reinvent the wheel, so if someone have allready made thislike depndencies, I would like to hear it.

 

With regards,

Tuomas.

How about creating a custom global condition:

 

Get-WmiObject Win32_QuickFixEngineering -filter 'HotFixID="KBxxxx"'
